Righteous Gemstones Season 3 Casts Kristen Johnston
Kristen Johnston has joined the cast of The Righteous Gemstones season 3. Created by star Danny McBride, the series follows a famous family of televangelists whose glowing public image starkly contrasts their greed and corruption behind the scenes. Renewed in January, the second season saw the Gemstone family empire threatened by a chaotic mixture of rivals, including Cycle Ninjas and Christian musclemen.
Now, Variety has confirmed an exciting new addition to The Righteous Gemstones season 3 with the casting of Johnston. Set to play the character of May-May Montgomery, further details surrounding her character remain under wraps, though they are said to have a history with the Gemstone clan. Known for her Emmy Award-winning portrayal of Sally Solomon in 3rd Rock from the Sun, Johnston has also enjoyed roles in The Exes, Modern Family, and Mom.

Beginning production earlier this month, Johnston’s casting follows the recently announced addition of Steve Zahn (White Lotus), who will reportedly play a militia leader named Peter. The pair are joined in season 3 by main cast members McBride, Adam Devine, Edi Patterson, John Goodman, Tony Cavalero, Walton Goggins, and Skyler Gisondo. The Righteous Gemstones marks McBride’s third venture with HBO, having previously co-created Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals. The 45-year-old also executive produces the show alongside David Gordon Greene, John Carcieri, Jeff Fradley, Brandon James, and frequent collaborator Jody Hill. An exact release date for season 3 has yet to be announced, though it is expected to debut sometime in 2023.
