Could `` Preacher '' become AMC 's next `` Walking Dead '' ? AMC has officially put into development the long-rumored TV version of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon 's twisted 1990s comic series . Sam Catlin ( `` Breaking Bad '' ) will serve as executive producer and showrunner , while Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ( `` This is the End '' ) will executive produce and write the pilot draft . 'Walking Dead ' pranks NYC with zombie attacks . Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg said in a statement : `` This is amazing ! We 've tried for seven years to work on 'Preacher ' and we 're so psyched AMC is finally letting us . It is our favorite comic of all time , and we 're going to do everything we can to do it right . Humperdoo ! '' AMC 's official description : `` 'Preacher ' follows Reverend Jesse Custer , a tough Texas preacher who has lost his faith , has learned that God has left Heaven and abandoned His responsibilities . He finds himself the only person capable of tracking God down , demanding answers , and making Him answer for His dereliction of duty . Accompanying Jesse on his journey is his former girlfriend and a friendly vampire who seems to prefer a pint in the pub to the blood of the innocent . On his tail is one of the most iconic bad guys in print -- an immortal , unstoppable killing machine named the Saint of Killers -- a western lone gunman archetype whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill Jesse .

Plus , Ennis gave fans a lengthy statement : `` Steve Dillon and I are very happy to see 'Preacher ' being developed for TV , which seems a much more natural home for the story than a two-hour movie . Between them , Sony TV and AMC have brought viewers two of my favorite shows with 'Breaking Bad ' and 'Mad Men , ' and it 's exactly that kind of creative commitment and courage that 'Preacher ' needs . Obviously it 's taken a while , but Ken Levin along with Neal Moritz and his team refused to give up , long after the point when I myself grew skeptical , and their unrelenting enthusiasm for the project has gotten us where we need to be . I 'm particularly impressed that Seth Rogen , Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin understand 'Preacher ' fully — meaning they get it for what it is , not some vague approximation . All in all , it looks like 'Preacher ' can now be brought to TV in a way that I 'd previously not have thought possible , and I very much appreciate that Steve and I have been included in the conversation in the way that we have .
