The Righteous Gemstones Season 4: One Last Unholy Ride

Hallelujah and amen! The Gemstone family is back for one final round of holy hell as The Righteous Gemstones returns for its fourth and final season on March 9, 2025, exclusively on Max. The outrageous comedy-drama created by Danny McBride has kept audiences entertained with its mix of sharp satire, family dysfunction, and over-the-top televangelist antics, and now, it's all coming to a grand finale.

Will the Gemstones find redemption, or will their empire of greed and hypocrisy finally crumble? Let’s dive into what we know so far about The Righteous Gemstones Season 4 and why this farewell season is one of the most anticipated TV events of 2025.

Where We Left Off: Season 3 Recap

Season 3 saw Eli Gemstone (John Goodman) stepping back from his leadership role, leaving the family’s megachurch empire in the hands of his three wildly unqualified children:

• Jesse Gemstone (Danny McBride), the cocky heir with big ambitions but even bigger scandals.

• Judy Gemstone (Edi Patterson), the attention-starved, foul-mouthed daughter with a knack for chaos.

• Kelvin Gemstone (Adam DeVine), the youth pastor-turned-power-hungry cult leader wannabe.

The season introduced us to Eli’s long-lost sister, May-May (Kristen Johnston), and her militia leader ex-husband, Peter (Steve Zahn), who declared war on the Gemstones. Meanwhile, Jesse clashed with rival preacher Vance Simkins (Stephen Dorff), and Judy’s rockstar affair threatened to tear her marriage apart.

By the finale, the Gemstones narrowly escaped disaster, but their troubles are far from over.

What to Expect in Season 4

With everything on the line, Season 4 promises to deliver more absurdity, more backstabbing, and even bigger scandals as the Gemstones fight for their legacy.

🔥 The Milsap Family Joins the Chaos

New characters include Megan Mullally as Lori Milsap, Aimee-Leigh’s former musical partner, and Seann William Scott as Corey Milsap, her troubled son. Their long-standing ties to the Gemstones could either help or destroy them.

⚔️ Jesse vs. Simkins: The Megachurch War Continues

Jesse’s feud with Vance Simkins is expected to reach new heights, as the Simkins family continues their power play to take over the televangelist empire.

💔 Will Judy & BJ Make It?

After Judy’s infidelity, will she and BJ (Tim Baltz) repair their marriage, or is this the beginning of the end?

🙏 Eli’s Final Redemption Arc?

With the Gemstone dynasty at risk, will Eli finally choose faith over fortune, or will he double down on greed for one last power move?

🚀 The Craziest Finale Yet

If the past three seasons are any indication, the series finale will be explosive, hilarious, and possibly tragic.

Why We’ll Miss The Gemstones

Since 2019, The Righteous Gemstones has been one of HBO’s best satirical comedies, tackling themes of greed, corruption, faith, and family dysfunction. From its wild plot twists to its unforgettable one-liners, the show has left a lasting mark on TV comedy.

With Danny McBride’s signature writing, an all-star cast, and a no-holds-barred approach to satire, Season 4 is set to go out with a bang.
