Surprise no one posted this yet.

That is perfect casting!

That is perfect casting!

It really is.


Now cast the goddamn saint of killers.

Great casting. I fully expect a departure from what the comic character was but am still excited to what he brings to the show.

Does AMC allow any profanity?

 

[Kane52630]

They used to say pretty much anything before they had big sponsorship. Now it's the same as FX.

Lame. It'll severely limit some of the dialogue for Cass.

For tons of characters. Starr won't be the same without his vulgarity.

 

[craigaat]

America is so strange when it comes to swearing on the TV.

Damn....the pilot is gonna premiere at SXSW next week? Awesome. Hopefully we get some good info from it.

Looks great.

I'm glad they didn't take away Jesse's cigarettes. I wonder if Tulip and Cass will smoke too.

Preacher (and then Transmet, then Sandman) got me back into comics in high school.

I'm so worried about this show, though. The preview has me worried. It's not winning me over. :/

The supernatural drama will bow Sunday, May 22 at 10/9c, leading out of Fear the Walking Dead‘s midseason finale. After encoring the pilot twice on Sunday, May 29 (during Memorial Day weekend), new episodes will resume Sunday, June 5 at 9 pm (its regular time slot).

At least it's only going against Game of Thrones for four weeks or so. That'll probably cause a ratings dip for June, not that it really matters anymore in the DVR and digital era anyway.

Tom Cruise has a cameo in the pilot.

 

[Slick]

Lol I was just about to post that. That sounds awesome.

 

[Sawyer]

Wish EW hadn't felt the need to make a headline of it, but I'm sure I would've ended up finding out ahead of time regardless.

 

[Kane52630]

It's cool to see Tommy C in it.
