For whatever reason, AMC’s Preacher apparently isn’t using the name Marie L’Angell, and the Tony-winning Betty Buckley will technically be playing the role of “Gran’ma,” Jesse’s only living relative.
Gran’ma is a real tough sumbitch, but she’s wise beyond most people’s years.
She’ll undoubtedly play into Tulip’s immediate future, as Gran’ma will be a spiritist with the ability to bring people back from the dead, among other talents.
Buckley, who most recently had roles in Supergirl and M. Night Shyamalan’s Split, is set as a series regular, so we’ll likely see quite a bit from her.
