'Preacher' Season 2 Air Date, Spoilers, News & Update: Ruth Negga Quits Filming? Dominic Cooper Might Leave To? More Plot Details Revealed

After the bizarre and violent first season, "Preacher" Season 2 is under pressure to follow up to the success of the comic book television show adaptation. Starring former "Mamma Mia" actor Dominic Cooper, the show was not afraid of embracing its weirdness and is probably one of the reasons why the season before "Preacher" Season 2 had an average of 3 million viewers per episode.

Adapted from the comic book series of the same name, the supernatural black comedy has amassed a dedicated fanbase. One of the fan favorite characters in the show is Tulip O'Hare, Village Voice opined. Played by Ruth Negga, she is the gun-wielding ex-girlfriend of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), who has helped him through a lot of difficult situations. However, it looks like "Preacher" Season 2 will be losing one of its biggest stars due to the upcoming awards season.

According to Indie Wire, "Preacher" Season 2 star Ruth Negga made herself one of the frontrunners due to overwhelmingly positive reception of her performance in the civil rights movie "Loving." Debuting in Cannes Film Festival in May, the movie competed for the Palme d'Or and received a standing ovation from the notoriously picky Cannes audience.

 It is rumored that Negga is now torn between filming "Preacher" Season 2 and promoting "Loving." With the awards season coinciding with the production of "Preacher" season 2, executives are said to have express concern that Negga will not be able to juggle both jobs. However, it looks like the decision to come back to "Preacher" season 2 is up to Negga.

AMC has not issued any news about the premiere of "Preacher" Season 2 but it has been reported that it will premiere in summer 2017. GameNGuide will be covering more on the updates on "Preacher" season 2 in the coming weeks.

What are your thoughts on the news that Ruth Negga will leave "Preacher" Season 2? Will she be able to snag an Oscar nomination come January?
