“Preacher” is based on a long-running comic book series from writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon. There have been rumblings of a “Preacher” adaptation since the late ‘90s, long before the comic itself even wrapped up.
Directors like Kevin Smith and Sam Mendes have been attached to the project at different points. But for various reasons (the series’ complexity and adult themes being among them), it took the better part of two decades for “Preacher” to finally come to life on the small screen, thanks in part to executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
