When Is ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ Series Finale?
max It's the fourth and final season of HBO's religion-based comedy.
If The Righteous Gemstones isn’t the funniest show on TV, it’s at least in the top three (I see you, The Studio and Hacks). It’s got everything you could ever want in a comedy: an impeccable cast, a helper monkey, and Edi Patterson saying “don’t be bumping on my bare titty meat.” God knows there’s enough religious hypocrisy to satire for years to come, but creator and star Danny McBride knew that this season — the show’s fourth — would be the final one.
“When I started writing the season, I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish the show or not, but I started to notice getting these ideas,” McBride said ahead of the season 4 premiere. “So many themes and storylines were about inclusion and about moving forward, about moving on, that it, really, to me, creatively, became apparent that that was the story that we’re telling.”
He continued, “The story is about a lot of things, but the track of the arc that I sort of followed through all four (seasons) is really about grief. It’s about losing people and turning to family and figuring out what’s next.”
What’s next in the immediate future is only a few more episodes of The Righteous Gemstones. As for when you’ll be able to watch the series finale…
When Is The Righteous Gemstones Series Finale?
Here are the remaining episodes of The Righteous Gemstones, and their respective airdates:
Season 4, Episode 7: “For Jealousy Is The Rage of a Man” (April 20)
Season 4, Episode 8: “On Your Belly You Shall Go” (April 27)
Season 4, Episode 9: “That Man of God May Be Complete” (May 4)
Forget May 4 being Star Wars Day — it’s The Final Episode of The Righteous Gemstones Day. (It’s also episode four of The Last of Us season 2.)
Little is known about the episode, although the “complete” in the title might be clue. To what, exactly? That remains to be seen, but it would not surprise me if the “complete” involves one of the Gemstones dying. As in, they’ve completed their time on Earth before going to Heaven. Or maybe I’m overthinking it and Baby Billy will show his hog again. That’s the more likely option.
