John Goodman, Edi Patterson, Adam Devine and Cassidy Freeman will star with McBride in the series.
HBO has given a series order to The Righteous Gemstones, a comedy from Danny McBride about a televangelist and his family.
The project will tell the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a history of deviance, greed and, yes, charitable work, all in the name of Jesus. It's the third series McBride has done for HBO, following Eastbound and Down and Vice Principals.
John Goodman will star as Gemstone family patriarch Eli, who has built a global following via his ministry and weekly TV show. Though he's no longer the force he once was, he still expects unquestioned loyalty. Goodman also stars on The Conners, the Roseanne spinoff premiering Oct. 16 on ABC.
McBride will play Jesse, Eli's oldest son and presumed heir to his father's throne. He wants to take what his father built and expand it for a more modern audience.
The Righteous Gemstones also stars Edi Patterson (Vice Principals) and Adam Devine (Workaholics) as Judy and Kelvin, Eli's other children; Cassidy Freeman (Longmire) as Amber, Jesse's wife, who gave up a journalism career to devote herself to the church and her husband; Tony Cavalero (School of Rock) as Keefe Chambers, an ex-Satanist who was saved by Kelvin; Tim Baltz (Bajillion Dollar Properties) as BJ, Judy's fiance; and GregAlan Williams (Greenleaf) as Martin Imari, Eli's trusted counsel.
McBride created the series and will executive produce with his Rough House Pictures partners Jody Hill and David Gordon Green. All three will also direct episodes.
This will be awesome. I'm a big fan of Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals. Can't wait for this.
this is great, what an amazing cast! Edi Patterson in particular was fantastic in Vice Principals, and I've become a fan of Adam Devine the past couple of years.

First episode really ups the stakes at the end in a way I did not see coming. Edi is fantastic so far and a comic highlight. Asking her daddy to slap her face, too, cuz she's a Gemstone was great

At some point I expected Goggins to take off the mask and it be a prank from one bad preacher to another, and then they killed them both 😶, so he's still on the way!
Even better was the line was "bottom". She was being vulgar but also rated G at the same time lol
I loved everything about this episode. Walton Goggins is fantastic and I was nervous he'd be written out at the end of the episode but it all came full circle.
And next week they're bringing in Toby Huss (Artie - the strongest man.....in the world!). Every Danny McBride project at HBO either introduces me to someone fantastic or brings in someone fantastic but it's always great.

Ah my mistake, corrected my post.
It was a great episode. Goggins had a great throwaway line towards the end, something like "get those balls out".
It was great seeing some slivers of real familial love coming from the siblings when they were out by the pool.
The fact that they called him "baby billy" throughout the whole episode just made me smile so much. Then the aunt forcing them to call her Aunt Tiffany was a bonus

Sorry, wasn't trying to correct you like that....I just watched it now and came to the thread and that line was a standout for me. This one and the one you mention below:

Both felt a lot to me like improv/come up with during filming. Edi has a few lines like that which stand out as last minute/she's throwing in and the "get those balls out" made me immediately think it was Walton riffing off of Eli saying to get their bare asses or whatever out. He just went one step further. I loved it. That and him using the mannequin arm to slap and spank the guys.
It was great seeing some slivers of real familial love coming from the siblings when they were out by the pool.
Yeah, that was nice and I liked seeing Eli laugh at that moment and the very end. The talk of "he doesn't laugh anymore" from earlier and after seeing him in the first two episodes it was nice to see him finding some joy. He's been a wildcard for me so far in that I don't know what to expect from him yet. He's been guarded and not fleshed out yet but this episode did some work on that front.
I caught part of the first episode at Lolla and saw the thread bumped so I watched all of them tonight. The levels of irony in this show are incredible
