What will happen in The Righteous Gemstones season 2?
No plot details have been released yet about the upcoming season of the show.
However, the new outing is expected to pick up with the Gemstone family once again as they deal with some fresh challenges.
At a recent screening of the show, McBride gave Express.co.uk some insight into where the show is heading next.
He said: “We really didn’t want to structure the show like a typical TV series where every season builds up some sort of cliffhanger that like just entices you to come back again.
“I feel like that’s the one downfall of TV. I love the idea of being able to tell these longer comedic stories.
“But I think the one thing that’s kind of lame about TV is just like not giving you completion or you know, or having to like, invest for 10 years in the show before you see anything ending.”

As a result, McBride went on to speak about how they are planning to do the second season.
He added: “We’ve really been like approaching this where every season can stand on its own as its own story, its own sort of longtail.
“But with a family that’s this vast and their history, as you’ll see as it goes on, I think there’s a lot of places you can go.
“This is going to be our The Thorn Birds I think.”
