Everyone’s favorite family of televangelists returns for its fourth and final season this spring. HBO announced Thursday that The Righteous Gemstones will premiere at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, March 9, 2025. The nine-episode season will air on HBO and stream on Max.
In the season 4 teaser trailer, the Gemstone children — including Jesse, Kelvin, and Judy — finally have control of the church, while their father Eli drinks his life away on a boat. The Gemstone clan is in for a rude awakening as power comes with responsibility, which may disrupt their extravagant lifestyle. “The family’s codependence is tested as they attempt to move forward without letting go of their storied past,” HBO’s logline reads.
The Righteous Gemstones season 4 cast features Danny McBride as Jesse Gemstone, Adam Devine as Kelvin Gemstone, John Goodman as Eli Gemstone, and Edi Patterson as Judy Gemstone.

The rest of the ensemble includes Cassidy Freeman as Amber Gemstone, Tim Baltz as BJ, Tony Cavalero as Keefe Chambers, Greg Alan Williams as Martin Imari, Skyler Gisondo as Gideon Gemstone, Walton Goggins as Baby Billy Freeman, Jennifer Nettles as Aimee-Leigh Gemstone, James DuMont as Chad, Jody Hill as Levi, Troy Hogan as Matthew, Valyn Hall as Tiffany Freeman, Kelton DuMont as Pontius Gemstone, Gavin Munn as Abraham Gemstone, Megan Mullally as Lori Milsap, Arden Myrin as Jana Milsap, and Seann William Scott as Corey Milsap.
The Righteous Gemstones is created and written by McBride. While speaking to GQ, McBride joked that God told him it was time to end the show.
“It felt natural,” McBride said about ending the show after four seasons. “I wrote the pilot for [Righteous Gemstones] in 2017, so when I finish up post [on season 4], I’ll have been on this show for almost eight years. It doesn’t seem like that, because we had a pandemic in the middle and a strike. But, yeah—the story came to me, and it felt like it was a story that was bringing all these themes and these ideas and these characters to a conclusion, to something that felt like completion.”

The Last of Us season 2: HBO sets premiere for April 2025
The Last of Us will return this spring. At Sony's press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show, co-creator, writer, and executive producer Neil Druckmann announced The Last of Us season 2 will premiere in April. Consisting of seven episodes, season 2 will air on HBO and stream on Max.
Druckmann's announcement was accompanied by a new video from season 2. The brief teaser opens with Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, one of the new characters in season 2. Fans of the game know Abby will play an important role this season, and her controversial actions will be extremely polarizing with fans. "It doesn't matter if you have a code like me," Abby ominously says as she walks down a hallway with a gun in hand. "There are just some things everyone agrees are just wrong."

HBO cancels The Franchise after just one season
The Franchise has come to an end. HBO announced this weekend that it has chosen to cancel the satirical series following its eight-episode first season, which aired its final installment near the end of November. The comedy from creator Jon Brown and executive producers Armando Iannucci and Sam Mendes lampooned the real-life practices of Hollywood's modern superhero moviemaking complex by charting the struggles of multiple crew members throughout the making of the latest entry in a sprawling, unwieldy comic book-inspired cinematic universe.
“We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the tremendously talented team behind The Franchise, especially Sam Mendes, Jon Brown, Armando Iannucci, and this hilarious ensemble of actors,” HBO said in a statement shared with Variety. “While we won’t be moving forward with another season, we look forward to collaborating with all of them in the future.”
