Nearly every single character we became familiar with during the course of the season is gone, according to Catlin, save for Eugene Root aka Arseface. Even Jesses nemesis Odin Quincannon, who has dogged the preachers church land for decades, is gone. Even sweet church mouse Emily, Jesses casual girlfriend? Also, gone.
In the end, we had to clear the deck, theres so many great characters from the comic to come, says Catlin, who along with EPs Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg intended Preachers first season to be a prequel to the Vertigo comic book, with some nods to the print editions Gone to Texas series.
