Warning: This article contains spoilers for the first two seasons of The Righteous Gemstones.Heaven is shining down on The Righteous Gemstones, HBO’s rowdy comedy about a televangelist southern family who put the Roys of Succession to shame. You may have wondered how the heck this inventive series from creator Danny McBride was going to top itself after season two’s calamities. There was that Zion’s Landing debacle, spiritual wonderland that it was. How about that twist of the Cycle Ninjas becoming part of Kelvin (Adam DeVine) and Keefe’s (Tony Cavalero) youth fitness program? Megachurch Lyle (Eric Andre) getting eaten by wolves? Holy hell. What next?

Plenty. Season three aims… well, if not higher, then high enough. It's fun, often hilarious, offbeat, and engaging. And while the third outing may recycle some of its own familiar tropes — how many more people can come after The Gemstones, after all?...

Last month, HBO said goodbye to two of its signature series: “Succession,” a tale of three born billionaires vying to replace their aging patriarch; and “Barry,” an action comedy that unlocked new levels of ambition in its star-auteur, Bill Hader. Fans — and, one presumes, the network — were left with a vacuum the next seasons of “The White Lotus” and “House of the Dragon” are too far off to fill. Fortunately, a show that combines the best of both its erstwhile peers returns June 18 for a third season. “The Righteous Gemstones” remains consistent in its outrageous opulence and crude humor, but its latest chapter is unusually well timed.

Like “Succession,” “The Righteous Gemstones” follows a family poisoned by wealth and power at a crucial inflection point; like “Barry,” the show has a visual panache that defies our expectations for a half-hour comedy. But unlike either show, “The Righteous Gemstones” resists the...

Plot: When the spoiled Gemstone children finally get their wish to take control of the Church, they discover leadership is harder than they imagined and that their extravagant lifestyle comes with a heavy price.

Review: If you are still grieving the end of HBO’s marquee series about a filthy rich family vying for power and acting like assholes, rest assured that the cable network still has another series that fits that description. Danny McBride’s The Righteous Gemstones is back for a third season of hilarious hijinks of sacrilegious genius. While the second season of The Righteous Gemstones took things in a darker direction with insight into the youth of Eli Gemstone (John Goodman) with a downbeat ending, this new run is decidedly lighter with just as many dick jokes and brilliant insults. Led by the great Goodman, McBride, Edit Patterson, and Adam DeVine, The Righteous Gemstones’ third season...

If you thought the first two seasons of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones was already filled with more comedic camp and religious hypocrisy than you could preach to a choir with, the new upcoming third season is about to push those godly limits even further. Per a report from Deadline, not only has the latest trailer for Season 3 dropped ahead of its premiere next month, but even more new faces have officially joined the already bustling cast.
