While there are many TV series gearing up for launch for a new or the next season, AMC brings yet again another possible hit to the table, this time taking on an adaptation of DC (vertigo) comic book series, "Preacher". Seth Rogen headlines the development including the pilot episode.

The story of comic book "Preacher" focuses on Jesse Custer who is a preacher from a small town in Texas. His story begins as he accidentally wipes out his congregation after being possessed by a supernatural being named Genesis. With a main theme riding on good vs. evil, preacher Jesse Custer takes on to himself to find God literally and confront him about what happened to Genesis.

"Preacher" release date still remains unannounced as development began only late last year. AMC revealed in November 2013 that they are indeed taking on this comic book series and making a TV adaptation. A few days after, "This Is The End" actor Seth Rogen and his childhood friend and partner-in-writing, Evan Goldberg were confirmed to be working on the series.

Together with another AMC hit "Breaking Bad" writer, Sam Catlin, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are said to be deep in development in creating the pilot episode for "Preacher". Hopefully soon other details like release date are announced.

In recent updates to "Preacher" TV series development, "Neighbors" (2014) actor Seth Rogen tweeted his excitement in making "Preacher" possible. On his official Twitter account he posted "I am unbelievably psyched to be part of team that might bring Preacher to TV. Been a long road."

According to Movie Pilot, "Preacher" is among the highly anticipated TV series coming next year as the "comic book series is hailed as one of the best Comic series." Much like its upcoming contemporaries "Agent Carter," "Dare Devil" and "Jessica Jones", fans can only wait until the actual pilot to experience whether the adaptation is indeed at par with what the comic book series brings its fans.

"Preacher" release date is set on a vague Q4 2015, as announced by Seth Rogen. Stay tuned for more news and release date update on TV adaptation to comic book series "Preacher".
