Learn Who Is Developing
HBO's PREACHER Series!!

I am – Hercules!!

We spoke of this way back in May, but it looks like HBO has finally confirmed it is developing a series based on Garth Ennis’ DC/Vertigo comic book.

The pilot is being scripted by Mark Steven Johnson (“Jack Frost,” “Daredevil”); Howard Deutch (“The Whole Ten Yards”) is attached to direct. That’s the writing-directing team that brought us “Grumpier Old Men”!
