More about The Righteous Gemstones plot and cast
The Righteous Gemstones tells the story of a highly affluent and mysterious family of televangelists. There is constant conflict and tension amongst the family members but they need to stick together to fight external forces threatening to destroy the business they've built over the years. Rotten Tomatoes describes the show as:
''Well into the second generation of a grand televangelist tradition, the world-famous Gemstone family is living proof that worship pays dividends in all sizes. Patriarch Eli, the man most responsible for the tremendous success of the family's megachurch, is in mourning over the loss of his wife. Jesse, the eldest of the three grown Gemstone siblings, looks to lead in his father's footsteps, but finds his past sins jeopardizing the family ministry.''
The synopsis further states:
''Next in line comes middle sister Judy, who secretly lives with her fiancé and dreams of escaping the Gemstone compound. Rounding out the dysfunctional trio is pseudo-hipster Kelvin, the youngest of the preachers and a thorn in Jesse's side. As the family battles numerous threats to their renowned religious empire, they continue to spread the good word... and make a solid buck doing so.''
Lead actor John Goodman has been superb throughout the first two seasons of The Righteous Gemstones and is expected to deliver another memorable performance as protagonist Eli in the upcoming season. He's wonderfully supported by actors like Danny McBride, Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson, and many others.
You can watch the third season of The Righteous Gemstones on HBO on Sunday, June 18, 2023.
