Danny McBride and ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ Team Say Goodbye to the HBO Comedy: ‘F—, I’m About to Start Crying’
Danny McBride, Edi Patterson and John Carcieri break down the emotional series finale of HBO's 'The Righteous Gemstones'
Enraged by the recent loss of his father, despite his role in it, family friend Corey Milsap (Seann William Scott) goes on a rampage through the Gemstone lake house Galilee Gulch, wounding all three siblings — Jesse (McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson) and Kelvin (Adam Devine) — via gunshot. It’s partly a musical, and has some of the most ambitious action on television this side of “The Last of Us.” At its core, though, the show is a comedy, and whatever its parallels to “Succession” as the saga of three siblings squabbling over their aging father’s empire, it was never going to end on as down a note as Kendall Roy contemplating suicide. So as bittersweet as it is to say goodbye, “I have faith in the talented people that we work with that we’ll come up with something good.” Besides, McBride penned the pilot of “The Righteous Gemstones” in 2017; between four seasons, two strikes and a pandemic, making the show has taken up eight years of the Rough House crew’s lives, leaving them excited for a blank slate.
