Six new actors have been added to the cast of the TV series, which include Noah Taylor from "Game of Thrones," Pip Torrens from "The Crown," Julie Ann Emery from "Fargo," Malcolm Barrett from "Dear White People," Ronald Guttman from "Homeland," and Justin Prentice from "13 Reasons Why."
While it has yet to be confirmed what specific roles these new cast members will portray in the second season of "Preacher," some of them are expected to portray fan-favorite characters directly from the first issue of the comic book series that TV show is based on.
In the supernatural and dark comedy series, Jesse is inhabited by an enigmatic entity called Genesis, which gives him the power to make people do whatever he commands them to do. This newfound power attracts the interest of two angels, Fiore (Tom Brooke) and DeBlanc (Anatol Yusef), and Jesse, along with Tulip Cassidy, gets thrown into a crazy world filled with entities from both Heaven and Hell, as well as everything in between.
"Preacher" season 2 is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, June 25 on AMC.
