A part of the marketing campaign for the series, the installation may be viewed at the corner of Red River and Fourth streets until Tuesday, a day after the pilot episode for “Preacher” was screened at the event.
Also starring Ian Colletti, W. Earl Brown, Lucy Griffiths, Elizabeth Perkins and Jackie Earle Haley, “Preacher” makes its television premiere in May on AMC. The comic series followed a Texas preacher, Jesse Custer, who became possessed by a heavenly entity.
The AMC Preacher series is executive produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Caitlin.
