Ready for more ridiculousness from the Gemstone family? You're probably wondering, when can I feast my eyes on season 2?
Well, get ready to rejoice! The second season of *The Righteous Gemstones* premiered on HBO on January 9, 2022. All nine episodes of the second season are available now.
What's the Deal with the Gemstones Anyway?
Think of *The Righteous Gemstones* as a darkly funny family saga. Only, this family runs a massive megachurch empire. They’re filthy rich, completely hypocritical, and utterly hilarious.
The show centers on the three Gemstone siblings: Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin. They all desperately crave their dad's attention (and his money). Their dad, Eli Gemstone, is the family patriarch. He is trying to manage his family and their ever-growing church.
It's a wild ride filled with greed, sibling rivalry, and questionable decisions. Oh, and plenty of over-the-top performances.
Why is Everyone Obsessed?
Let's be real, who doesn't love a good show about terrible people? Especially when those people are fabulously wealthy and doing outrageous things.
The show boasts a stellar cast, including the incomparable Danny McBride (Jesse Gemstone). Also, John Goodman is magnificent as Eli. Not to mention the hilarious performances of Edi Patterson (Judy) and Adam Devine (Kelvin).
The writing is sharp, witty, and unafraid to push boundaries. It’s satire at its finest, poking fun at televangelism and family dynamics. But don’t worry, it's not all serious. It's downright hilarious.
Season 2: What to Expect
Season 2 ups the ante with even more outrageous storylines. The Gemstones are facing external threats and internal power struggles. They must protect their empire and family.
Expect more of the same: over-the-top fashion, ridiculously expensive cars, and questionable moral choices. Plus, some new faces that shake things up.
Think backstabbing, blackmail, and maybe even a few explosions. Okay, maybe not *literal* explosions all the time. But definitely some emotional ones.
"It's about a family of very, very wealthy people who are also spiritual leaders, but have some really, really bad secrets and habits." - Danny McBride on *The Righteous Gemstones*.
Where Can You Watch?
Both seasons of *The Righteous Gemstones* are available to stream on HBO Max. You can also find episodes available for purchase on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and iTunes.
So, if you're looking for a show that’s equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking, this one's for you. Prepare to be entertained!
Final Thoughts: Should You Binge It?
