Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's 1990s series from DC Comics imprint Vertigo, the show has not only been renewed for 2017, but will also get 13 episodes rather than the 10 of the original run.

Developed by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin, the story follows Jesse who is inhabited by a mysterious entity called Genesis that gives him the power to make people do whatever he commands.
