Among the TV series concluding in 2025, one that I’ll deeply miss is “The Righteous Gemstones“. This weekend marked the end of its four-season run, and I can’t help but wish for further escapades involving the televangelist family portrayed in the title. This includes more risqué humor for John Goodman, as well as tunes that are so catchy they might get stuck in your head! Co-creator and actor Danny McBride hasn’t confirmed plans for a possible sequel movie, but he has an idea I find quite intriguing instead.
With a Max subscription, we can relive the Gemstones’ escapades anytime. However, McBride proposed an exciting concept for a live stage performance starring the TV series cast, which he hinted at during his discussion with Decider when asked about writing a film.
It seems like an exciting idea to me: hosting a live performance, perhaps even a traveling tent revival featuring the Gemstones. This could potentially be our comeback strategy. Let’s wait and see.
As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but ponder the thrill of attending a real-life service at Gemstone Ministries! The thought alone tickles my imagination. I’d splurge on a capuchin monkey to keep me stocked with pretzels, and dare to don a baptism romper for the event! (Yes, BJ fans will catch those winks.) The chance to sing along with a crowd, echoing some of the iconic tunes from the show, would make it an unforgettable religious experience. Ironic as it may seem, given the obvious fictional nature of gathering to celebrate a TV show with a mock church service, such an event would undeniably feel surreal and extraordinary.

Indeed, your proposition seems intriguing, but is it realistically feasible? For instance, Walton Goggins, a prominent figure in Hollywood, has a packed schedule. I find it hard to believe he could find time for a traveling roadshow, especially since the character of Uncle Baby Billy is essential to the production. Similarly, I have my doubts about 72-year-old John Goodman’s willingness to take on such a project. The skepticism seems to be shared by Adam DeVine, as he expressed similar reservations when the subject of Danny McBride’s stage show came up during an interview.
Essentially, Danny expressed that idea, and my response was something along the lines of, “Got it, buddy!” It seems he’s not feeling up to penning an entire film at this moment. (Winks)
It seems Adam Devine may have an exciting idea up his sleeve, since Danny McBride told Deadline he’s considering taking a break before moving on to his next project with HBO. Given this, I believe organizing a touring stage show could be even more challenging than creating a movie, given the potential scheduling complications that might arise when coordinating with actors like Walton Goggins and others.

I’m not suggesting Danny McBride shouldn’t go all out to make this happen, because I’d be thrilled to see such an event unfold. In fact, it seems plausible that HBO might agree to document one of the shows for a special broadcast on their network. Can you picture us all singing “Misbehavin'” together? That would be quite a spectacle, whether experienced live or through television.
One query I might have is about the way a stage show could manage the Gemstones characters by portraying how they behave in public versus their private selves. Perhaps, during breaks between performances, we could see pre-recorded scenes displayed on large screens (like jumbotrons) where the characters are unaware they’re being filmed, creating an interesting contrast and depth to their personalities.
I’d ponder as well about how characters from the series who aren’t affiliated with the Gemstones Ministries could be incorporated. Maybe my favorite character, BJ, might have a warm-up segment featuring some riveting pole dancing competition? I’m curious if actor Tim Baltz has the skills to pull off those moves, but I’d be thrilled for an opportunity to discover it!
Currently, I’m excited to share that “The Righteous Gemstones” has wrapped up and can be enjoyed in its entirety on Max. Fingers crossed that fans get more of this fantastic series, perhaps a movie or even the live stage show that Danny McBride is proposing. Here’s hoping for an encore!
