HBO has released the official trailer for Season 2 of “The Righteous Gemstones” and took the opportunity to confirm the premieres of the new episodes for January 9, 2022.
To verify:
The production stars Danny McBride and John Goodman.
In the plot, McBride plays Jesse Gemstone, the eldest son and “heir to the throne” of a family known the world over for his work as a televangelist, “with a long tradition of deviance, greed and social work, the all done in the name of the name of Christ ”- as the official description points out.
Goodman plays Eli, Jesse’s father, known “the world over for his aggressive evangelistic techniques, world ministries and award-winning weekly TV show.” In the plot, “Jesse ends up becoming independent in the ministry realm, absorbing everything his father has built and expanding it to a much more modern audience.”

The pilot episode is written and directed by McBride, who also takes on the role of executive producer, alongside Jody Hill and David Gordon Green – partners in the “Vice Principals” series, also on HBO.
