It may still be a long wait before the highly anticipated series based on the Preacher comic books will air on AMC, but the show's executive producer Seth Rogen couldn't help but tease about what to expect. Rogen has just unveiled three new photos from Preacher featuring Agent Carter's Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Ruth Negga as Tulip O'Hare and Joe Gilgun as the vampire Cassidy!
Rogen tweeted about the show's upcoming debut at South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas on March 14. As a treat for fans who will not be able to attend, the EP decided to share the images of Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy.
"For those who can't make #SXSW, here's a FIRST LOOK at our leading trio - Jesse, Tulip & Cassidy!" Rogen wrote.

Although the image of Cooper's Jesse is a still from the Preacher trailer released last year, the picture of Tulip and Cassidy are brand new.
Preacher is based on Garth Ennis' wildly popular comic book series, which follows a disillusioned preacher who has become possessed by what could possibly be the most powerful being in the universe.
Ennis has previously spoken about the show, admitting that he has already "seen the pilot," and that it is "excellent." The creator confirmed that he is looking forward to what Rogen and co-executive producer Evan Goldberg will do for the series.
"The thought of watching each episode as it's completed, seeing what they've done with the story," Ennis told ComicBook.com, adding that Rogen and Goldberg have expanded on the comic book's storyline.
"They've added a good deal to the basic plot of Preacher and I've been pleasantly surprised by the results," he said.
Preacher will also star Watchmen actor Jackie Earle Haley as the villainous Odin Quincannon. There is no word yet on when the series will air on AMC.
