When will The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 premiere?

The season will officially kick off on Sunday, March 9 at 10/9c on HBO and Max. The season will include nine all-new episodes in a farewell run.

Will The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 be the show’s last?

In a statement from creator and star Danny McBride, shared by Variety, he revealed that the show would end with this fourth and final season at HBO. “The Lord spoke to me and said it’s time to wrap this sucker up. The story this season made the themes, ideas, and characters in The Righteous Gemstones feel whole and complete. I have loved every second of working with this team for the past eight years, and there are some incredible payoffs, twists, and turns in store over the course of this wild final season,” McBride shared.

What will The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 be about?

There is no official logline as of now, but TV Insider caught up with Goggins at the Gotham TV Awards in June 2024, and he teased, “I’ve read the scripts. Six or seven of them, and Danny is one of my best friends. There is no bigger fan of Danny McBride than me, and these scripts are so unbelievably good,” Goggins shared.

“And I would venture to say that Episode 1 and what he did with that is on par with one of the best things he’s ever, ever written in the history of his career. Personally, that’s how I feel about it,” he added. Needless to say, there’s a lot to look forward to.
