We certainly hope you haven’t been misbehavin’ because there are two new members of The Righteous Gemstones family that will set you straight if so. Today, Deadline revealed that comedic legends Megan Mullally and Seann William Scott will be part of the unhinged hijinks when the show returns for its fourth season later this year. Right now, no specific release date has been set for the holy family’s return to HBO, but series star Walton Goggins took to Instagram to share his love for the production and his castmates in a post that confirmed that filming had wrapped back in the fall.
When it comes to Mullally and Scott’s characters, both have long-standing personal relationships with the Gemstone family. Appearing in the series as Lori Milsap, the Will & Grace alum’s character has been close to the holy rollers for years and years, having first hit it off with the late Aimee-Leigh (Jennifer Nettles) as a musical collaborator. Meanwhile, Final Destination star Scott has Lori to thank for his Gemstone connections, as he’ll play Corey Milsap, Lori’s son. In his character description, it’s revealed that Corey essentially grew up alongside the trio of Gemstone kids, so it will be interesting to see which sibling he gets along with the best and who he might butt heads with. The casting announcement also came with the addition of Arden Myrin (The Threesome), who will portray Corey’s wife, Jana Milsap.
What Is Going To Go Down in Season 4 of ‘The Righteous Gemstones’?
Season 3 of The Righteous Gemstones slammed the good book shut back in 2023, leaving audiences to speculate about what kind of trouble the pious family will get themselves into next. After clashing with his brother-in-law all season long, Eli Gemstone (John Goodman) finally found peace with Peter Montgomery (Steve Zahn) in the Season 3 finale. Meanwhile, Kelvin (Adam Devine) hard launched his relationship with Keefe (Tony Cavalero) and Gideon (Skyler Gisondo) is coming around to the idea of stepping into his grandfather’s preaching shoes. While we don’t know precisely what awaits us in Season 4, explosively terrible decisions are bound to be made as the Gemstones continue to praise the Lord and look out for themselves. And, of course, familiar faces like Edi Patterson, Cassidy Freeman, Danny McBride, Tim Baltz, Greg Alan Williams, Jody Hill, and more will also return for the next set of episodes.
Stay tuned to Collider for more information about Season 4 of The Righteous Gemstones and catch up on the first three seasons now streaming on Max.
