HBO hears word, brings ‘Preacher’ to small screen - washingtonpost.com
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - HBO has seen the light and is bringing “Preacher” to the small screen.  The pay cable network is developing a one-hour series based on the popular Vertigo comics series.

“Preacher,” which ran from 1995-2000, told the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon. Given immense powers, the preacher teamed with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and set out on a journey across America to find God — who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven — and hold him accountable for his negligence.
