Cult comic book TV adaptation Preacher has found a UK home ahead of its debut.

The show, which comes from AMC in the US, behind the likes of Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Mad Men, will be streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime for members in the UK, as well as Austria, Germany, and Japan.

The pilot episode will be available to stream from May 23, the day after it airs in the US, and a new episode will be added to the service every Monday from June 6.

The show is based on Garth Ennings’ no-holds-barred comics, following an unconventional Texan priest, Jesse Custer, who finds himself imbued with a dangerous power that can be used for good – and evil.

The series stars Dominic Cooper as Custer, with This Is England’s Joe Gilgun cast as fan favourite character Cassidy, an Irish vampire.

Ruth Negga, currently picking up major awards buzz at the Cannes Film Festival for her turn in Jeff Nichols’ new film Loving, stars as Custer’s ex-girlfriend Tulip O’Hare.
