Praise! We bestow the good word on the new (and final?) season of the satirical comedy series.

Running a megachurch must be a pretty sweet deal, right? The Gemstone children always thought so, but now that they’re old enough to take on important leadership roles of their own, things might not look so rosy. “The Righteous Gemstones” is coming back to HBO and Max in the near future, and before the show returns once again, we’ll share all the information we have on Season 4 of the satirical comedy so you can go in prepared!

Is ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ ending after Season 4?

Yes, it appears that “The Righteous Gemstones” Season 4 will be the last for the series. That’s according to star and creator Danny McBride, who released a statement about the upcoming batch of episodes this week.

“The Lord spoke to me and said it’s time to wrap this sucker up,” McBride explained. “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.”

Who will star in ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ Season 4?

Barnes, Skyler Gisondo as Gideon Gemstone, and Walton Goggins as Baby Billy Freeman will also return to the final season of the show.

What happened in Season 3 of ‘The Righteous Gemstones’?

Season 3 of “The Righteous Gemstones” saw the three siblings’ squabbles escalate to new heights as their father steps back from the church. Eli’s sister May-May reemerges, seeking protection for her family from her militant ex-husband Peter, who nurses an old grudge against the Gemstones. Baby Billy wants to create a new Bible-themed quiz show, and Judy’s extra-marital dalliances catch up with her in a major way.

What will happen in Season 4 of ‘The Righteous Gemstones’?

There aren’t many details available for Season 4 of “The Righteous Gemstones” yet, though the official logline promises plenty of chaos, not to mention hilarity.

“When the spoiled Gemstone children finally get their wish to take control of the Church, they discover leadership is harder than they imagined and that their extravagant lifestyle comes with a heavy price.”

How many episodes will ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ Season 4 have?

There has been no official word on the length of “The Righteous Gemstones” Season 4. However, given that the three preceding seasons were all nine episodes each, it seems likely that Season 4 will maintain that pattern.
