One of HBO’s funniest comedies returns this March for its final season

The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 | Official Teaser | Max

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 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.”

Stream the first three seasons of The Righteous Gemstones on Max.
