If you're a fan of darkly comedic, supernatural TV shows, chances are you've tuned into Preacher at some point. Based on the popular comic book series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, this AMC show follows the journey of Jesse Custer, a preacher infused with a mysterious power, as he sets out to find God. With its unique blend of action, humor, and theological exploration, Preacher had fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting each new season. Among all the anticipation, the question “When did season 4 of Preacher come out?” was on everyone’s mind.
Season 4 Release Details
AMC officially confirmed that Season 4 of Preacher premiered on August 4, 2019. This was revealed by co - creator Seth Rogen on Twitter, accompanied by a psychedelic teaser set to the death - metal track “Animatronic” by The Kovenant. The season ran its course until September 29, 2019, wrapping up with a ten - episode run.
Production and Move to Australia
For Season 4, production shifted to Australia. This move was likely due to the country's attractive tax incentives and its geographical versatility, which made it possible to double as various locations required for the show. Despite the comic series being set primarily in the United States and otherworldly realms, the change in filming location didn't seem to dampen the show's unique charm.
