The Righteous Gemstones S4 is on Showmax

24 March 2025

The Righteous Gemstones S1-4

The Righteous Gemstones follows a world-famous but highly dysfunctional televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work.

Series creator and star Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals) has confirmed this will be the fourth and final season. “The Lord spoke to me and said it’s time to wrap this sucker up,” says McBride. “The story this season made the themes, ideas, and characters in The Righteous Gemstones feel whole and complete. I have loved every second of working with this team for the past eight years, and there are some incredible payoffs, twists, and turns in store over the course of this wild final season.”

Returning cast includes Emmy nominee Walton Goggins (The White Lotus), Edi Patterson (Knives Out), Teen Choice winner Adam Devine (Pitch Perfect), and Golden Globe winner John Goodman (The Big Lebowski, Roseanne), with Emmy winner Megan Mullally (Karen in Will & Grace) and Seann William Scott (Stifler in American Pie) joining the cast this season. Also look out for 12-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper in the first episode, playing the first Gemstone.

With four Emmy nominations and an 8.1 score on IMDb, The Righteous Gemstones S4 was one of Variety’s “most anticipated” shows of 2025 and hasn’t disappointed, with a 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
