Tonight, The Walking Dead is wrapping up its seventh season and freeing up its weekly time slot. But fans won’t have to wait very long to get their Sunday night fix. The second season of Preacher is set to hit this summer, and a “powerful” new promo has set the stage for an epic road trip.

As originally envisioned in the classic comic book series by Garth Ennis and the late Steve Dillon, Preacher was the story of Jesse Custer, a man driven to literally find God alongside his best friend,Cassidy, as well as Jesse’s ex, Tulip O’Hare. The facts that Cassidy was a vampire or that Tulip was an assassin were ultimately less surprising than the revelation that Jesse was imbued with the word of God. Basically, no one can say “no” to Jesse, and that power has made him a target.
The latest season 2 footage plays up that threat as Jesse and his friends find themselves under attack from local law enforcement officials as well as masked group of men who may be from the Grail, a secretive organization that was briefly glimpsed in the first season. However, the most ominous part of the trailer is the reintroduction of the Saint of Killers. Even God can’t tell this Saint to stand down, and he’s gunning for Jesse.
Of course, the trailer also features a dose of the series’ bizarre sense of humor, including a man in a very disturbing dog costume and the absolutely charming way that Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy enjoy “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners.
Preacher season 2 begins on Sunday, June 25.
