Cast:
– Danny McBride as Jesse Gemstone, Eli’s oldest son and associate pastor of the Gemstone Salvation Center. Although appearing to be a faithful father and husband, Jesse barely conceals a crude and arrogant personality and a debauched lifestyle, which he often partakes in with his “gang” of friends and subordinates.
– Adam DeVine as Kelvin Gemstone, Eli’s youngest son and youth pastor of the Gemstone Salvation Center. Kelvin strives to prove himself as a leader, despite his immaturity and impulsiveness.
– Edi Patterson as Judy Gemstone, Eli’s daughter. Judy, the middle child, often feels underestimated by her family as she tries to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a singer and star of the church’s services. She is prone to inappropriate behavior and angry outbursts.
– Tony Cavalero as Keefe Chambers, Kelvin’s boyfriend, an ex-Satanist who helps with the youth ministry.
– Cassidy Freeman as Amber Gemstone, Jesse’s wife who projects the image of a supportive and loving spouse. She encourages Jesse’s ambitions to take more control of the church while privately struggling with his negative qualities. She is an Olympic markswoman.
– Greg Alan Williams as Martin Imari, Eli’s right-hand-man and the Gemstones’ accountant who is often entrusted with the day-to-day operations of the church and cleaning up after the family’s scandals.
– Tim Baltz as Benjamin Jason “BJ” Barnes, Judy’s sensitive and mediocre fiancé, and later, husband. He is often intimidated by Judy, although it’s apparent that he really loves her. BJ works in an optometrist’s office in a local grocery store. He’s looked down on by the rest of the family for his odd actions and for being raised by liberal atheists.
– John Goodman as Dr. Elijah “Eli” Gemstone, the patriarch of the Gemstone family and lead pastor of the Gemstone Salvation Center. Eli is a widower, having lost his wife, Aimee-Leigh, one year prior to the start of the series. Although not as openly greedy and vulgar as his children, Eli often prioritizes his own wealth and status ahead of spirituality.
– Skyler Gisondo as Gideon Gemstone, Jesse’s oldest son, who moved to California to be a stunt performer, an act that Jesse considered to be a betrayal. Gideon later reconciles with his family and returns to work for the church. He is a skilled martial artist and stunt driver.
– Dermot Mulroney as Rev. John Wesley Seasons (season 1), a pastor of a much smaller congregation, forced to compete with the Gemstones’ new church in Locust Grove
– Walton Goggins as Baby Billy Freeman (season 1, recurring seasons 2-4), Eli’s brother-in-law and brother of the deceased Aimee-Leigh Gemstone. A faded child star who was once part of a Gospel song-and-dance double-act with his sister, Baby Billy is a habitual liar whose financial dependence, bad influence on Jesse and Judy, and tendency to abandon his loved ones strained his relationship with the Gemstones. Baby Billy resides at Freeman’s Gap, his and Aimee-Leigh’s childhood home in the Appalachian Mountains, with his much younger wife Tiffany.
– Jennifer Nettles as Aimee-Leigh Gemstone, Eli’s deceased wife and the mother of Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin. She appears in flashbacks, hallucinations, and as a ghost.

The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 Final season
The Righteous Gemstones is an American comedy-drama television series created by Danny McBride that premiered on August 18, 2019, on HBO. The series follows a famous and dysfunctional family of televangelists. It stars Danny McBride, Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson, Tony Cavalero, Cassidy Freeman, Gregory Alan Williams, Tim Baltz, and John Goodman. The series has aired three seasons, with its fourth and final season premiering on March 9, 2025.
The Righteous Gemstones depicts a family of televangelists and megachurch pastors led by widowed patriarch Eli Gemstone. Eli and his immature children, Jesse, Judy and Kelvin, lead opulent lives funded by church donations.
In the first season, Eli’s estranged brother-in-law, Baby Billy Freeman, is brought in to lead the Gemstones’ new shopping-mall-based satellite church, which leads to a conflict with Rev. John Wesley Seasons whose smaller, neighboring church is threatened. Concurrently, a trio of masked figures blackmail Jesse with a scandalous video documenting the lewd behavior of him and his best friends.
In the second season, Jesse and Amber partner with Texas megachurch leaders Lyle and Lindy Lissons to develop a Christian timeshare resort. The family faces threats including investigative journalist Thaniel Block, an old friend from Eli’s criminal past Junior, and a mysterious group of motorcycle-riding assassins.
In the third season, Eli scales back his involvement in the church, handing over greater control to his children. Eli’s impoverished sister, May-May, resurfaces, asking for his assistance in keeping her family safe from her ex-husband, Peter, a vengeful militia leader who holds a decades-long grudge against the Gemstones. Meanwhile, betrayals threaten to end the relationships of Judy and BJ and Kelvin and Keefe.
