The hit HBO comedy series The Righteous Gemstones is set to return with its highly-anticipated fourth season later this year, and fans have been wondering whether it will be the end of its run.
Starring Danny McBride and John Goodman, the series follows the titular family as they navigate their televangelist empire and the children taking over the control of the business.
The Righteous Gemstones Will End with Season 4
HBO has announced that the upcoming fourth season of The Righteous Gemstones is set to be its last.
There is no exact premiere date set yet for the show's final chapter, but it is slated to begin airing this March.
"The Lord spoke to me and said it’s time to wrap this sucker up. The story this season made the themes, ideas, and characters in The Righteous Gemstones feel whole and complete," showrunner and star Danny McBride said in a statement.
"I have loved every second of working with this team for the past eight years, and there are some incredible payoffs, twists, and turns in store over the course of this wild final season."
The series aired its most recent season in 2023. Due to the Hollywood labor strikes, there was a delay in its production start.
What to Expect in The Righteous Gemstones Season 4
So far, most of the plot details regarding The Righteous Gemstones season 4 are still under wraps.
McBride teased the plans that he has in store for the upcoming season in a recent interview.
"Obviously all the familiar faces are back, and we have some pretty awesome stuff for all of them, but we have some new members of the cast that are joining us—Megan Mullally, Seann William Scott," he said.
"We have some fun people who came down to Charleston to play with us, and I'm stoked for people to see what they've created. Ultimately, this is a family drama. You're following the ins and outs and the growth of these people, and so this season is no different."
The showrunner/star added, "We take some massive swings this season with some stuff I don’t think the audience is going to see coming, and I’m very excited to see how it plays."
