Something is afoot for the Gemstone family in a new image from the Season 3 set of HBO’sThe Righteous Gemstones. Anxiously staring off into the distance, the trio of Dr. Eli Gemstone’s (John Goodman) adult children, Kelvin (Adam Devine), Judy (Edi Patterson), and Jesse (Danny McBride) stand in a line in true-to-their-character poses and outfits. Knowing the mischief and trouble the three have gotten themselves into over the show’s first two seasons, it’s anyone’s guess as to what they’re digging up this time around.
Focusing on the titular family,The Righteous Gemstonestells the story of a televangelist family known the world over for the energetic preachings of their patriarch, Dr. Eli Gemstone. Acting as a piece of commentary for many similar televangelists who’ve been unmasked over the years, the family isn’t who they’ve made themselves out to be, with greed and questionable morals oozing into every plotline.
One-upping the mania of its premiere season, Season 2 wentabove and beyond expectations,diving more into the tangled web of trouble the family — specifically the three grown children — would get into. Estranged family members crashed the money-making party while storylines surrounding an attempted assassination on Jesse, a nosy reporter, a teenage motorcycle crew, and a murder mystery took front and center in the show’s sophomore season.

While much of the hilarity is carried out by the members of the Gemstone family, the series would be nothing without its side characters. The recurring ensemble lineup includesTim Baltz,Walton Goggins,Tony Cavalero,Skyler Gisondo,Cassidy Freeman,Jennifer Nettles, andJody Hill.
