Pilot (Preacher)
"Pilot" is the series premiere of the supernatural drama television series Preacher, which originally aired on AMC in the United States on May 22, 2016. The episode was written by the creators of the television adaptation, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin; with both Rogen and Goldberg directing. The pilot encore was followed by Talking Preacher, AMC's after-show hosted by Chris Hardwick.
The episode introduces Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy, and Ruth Negga as Tulip O'Hare, as well as series regulars played by Lucy Griffiths, W. Earl Brown, Tom Brooke, Anatol Yusef and Ian Colletti. In Preacher's pilot, Jesse Custer's past slowly catches up to him and he struggles to escape it, while a mysterious entity arrives on Earth, causing a wave of destruction in its path.
Principal photography for the pilot began on May 13, 2015, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Filming took place over two months, ending in early July. Principal photography was confirmed to have ended on July 10, 2015, with post-production beginning in August 2015.
The pilot received acclaim from critics, who found the pilot to be a respectful interpretation of the comic, for Rogen and Goldberg's direction, as well as the dark humorous tonality, while praising Cooper, Gilgun and Negga's performances. In the United States, the series premiere achieved a viewership of 3.8 million, making it one of the top three cable premieres in the 2016 television season. The episode garnered a Nielsen rating of 0.9 in the 18–49 demographic, translating to 2.4 million viewers.
In outer space, a bright object crosses the galaxy and finds its way to Earth, specifically Nairobi, Kenya, where it strikes a preacher, Irungu Mutu, and inhabits him. He explodes shortly thereafter, causing his congregants to flee.
In Annville, Texas, the local preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) gets dressed and leaves for church. Jesse walks to All Saints Congregational and delivers an uninspired sermon to a bored and distracted congregation. At the Sunday barbecue outside the church, a young boy named Chris (Thomas Barbusca) tells Jesse that his father, Donnie (Derek Wilson), abuses his mother. He asks Jesse to hurt his father, though Jesse warns him that violence simply leads to more violence. Sheriff Hugo Root (W. Earl Brown) asks Jesse to check in on his son Eugene. Jesse tells Sheriff Root that Donnie is beating his wife, Betsy, but Sheriff Root refuses to investigate unless Betsy files a formal complaint.
In a corporate jet, a group of hedge funders drink with an Irishman named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), who tells tales of his last trip to Tijuana. After discovering in the bathroom a Bible whose pages are covered in thick notes scrawled all over them, Cassidy notes that the plane is not flying toward Tijuana. He then kills the hedge funders and pilots, who turn out to be assassins. Cassidy reveals himself a vampire by drinking the pilot's blood and jumping out of the soon-to-crash plane with a to-go bottle of blood and umbrella in hand.
At a diner, a church attendee by the name of Ted (Brian Huskey) gripes about his mother to Jesse. Emily (Lucy Griffiths), who works at the diner, suggests Jesse check on her co-worker, Walter, who called in sick. Back in Nairobi, two mysterious men step out of a jeep and enter the church. Jesse stops by Walter's house, finding Walter passed out drunk and hearing a woman singing in the shower, he immediately leaves.
