According to the statistics, Preacher Season 1 and Season 2 were going just fine when we talk in the context of viewership and fan base. The TRPs were seen declining with every season that released after Preacher Season 2. According to the same sources who revealed the analysis, the declining viewership could be the reason why Preacher won’t be renewed for Season 5. However, Preacher Season 5’s fate is still unknown as no official statement has been released in favor of Preacher Season 5 renewal. Also, this post is full of spoilers from the Preacher television series, only read further if you do not hate reading spoilers.
What Is Preacher About?
The Preacher is an American supernatural television drama series that first started airing in May 2016. Preacher successfully continued till it’s 4th season, which is supposedly its last season. Preacher, the television series, is based on a comic book series, which is developed by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. With Dominic Cooper in main lead, Preacher revolves around Jesse Custer, a chain smoker, heavy drinking Preacher with a criminal past attached to his personality like a stubborn stain. His recently discovered extraordinary powers enable him to make others do as he commands. With his extraordinary abilities at his back, he decided to put his powers to good use, meaning, thereby, finding god. In his quest, he’s followed by his ex-girlfriend Tulip and his new vampire friend Cassidy.
Preacher Season 5 Cast And Characters
Preacher, an American television series created by Sam Catlin, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen has Dominic Cooper as its main lead. He’s playing a chain smoker Preacher Jesse Custer in said television series. Besides him, Joseph Gilgun is appearing as Proinsias Cassidy, a vampire; Ruth Negga as Tulip O’hare, Jesse’s ex-girlfriend, and Lucy Griffiths as Emily Woodrow; a single mother who’s earning a living as a waitress. For all the four seasons, almost the same cast has been retained. All the actors have been critically acclaimed for their performances in Preacher. Not only the good acting matters, but fans already felt attached to the characters, and we believe this is the reason why the entire cast was retained for the next three seasons. However, the fate of Preacher is still undecided, and we still have to dwell in confusion whether or not we’ll be able to watch out favorite show again or not. We’d love to see all the characters retained if Preacher is renewed for season 5. Meanwhile, all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope that they announce it as soon as possible that they are actually renewing Preacher for Season 5.

Is Preacher Season 5 Renewed or Cancelled?
With the announcement of Preacher being renewed for Season 4, the producer Seth Rogen also made an announcement that Season 4 for Preacher will reach its conclusion, and Jesse’s journey will mark its end with Season 4 only. However, fans were surely saddened over this, but there is still a ray of hope that fans see for the renewal of Preacher Season 5. The Preacher did have its viewership declining at a fast pace, but it still somehow manages to maintain its core fanbase. The loyal Preacher fans are desperately seeking Preacher’s Season 5 renewal. Albeit, it’s highly unlikely for Preacher to be renewed for season 5 as the decision to mark Preacher’s end with season 4 came days after Rogen and Goldberg moved their Sony TV-based Point Grey Pictures to Lionsgate. And it’s declining viewership was a matter of concern that could’ve have led its makers to make a call to give up on Preacher.
Preacher Season 5 Release Date
As of now, there is no release date for Preacher Season 5; if the show is renewed, we can hope Preacher Season 5 to return to us in Fall 2020 to Early 2021.
