20 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2016

6. Preacher

You can't get moved for comic book adaptations at the moment, from Arrow and The Flash to The Walking Dead, but Preacher, which will come to AMC around the middle of 2016, promises something a little bit different. Dominic Cooper will play Jesse Custer, a small-town preacher on a mission to find God. Literally. He'll be accompanied on the journey by Tulip (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Ruth Negga), his ass-kicking, gun-toting, criminal of an ex-girlfriend, and Cassidy, a hard-partying Irish vampire. If that's not enough, there will also be angels, and a character called Arseface. Because, well, you can probably guess. It's created by Seth Rogen, Even Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, and if it can somehow turn all of that into a TV series audiences can follow, AMC might have another big hit on their hands.
