The Lord spoke to me and said it’s time to wrap this sucker up. The story this season made the themes, ideas, and characters in ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ feel whole and complete.

The Show Needs To Wrap Up Its Major Storylines
The Righteous Gemstones season 4 is promising to continue the storyline of the family’s hypocritical approach to their church and religious activities, with more comedy and drama ensuing. Events that transpire will likely address the end of season 3, which saw the family’s biggest donor, Dusty (Shea Whigham), die, alongside Peter (Steve Zhan) losing a leg in an explosion. The soul of Aimee-Leigh (Jennifer Nettles) is also seen watching her family, a potential omen about what the series’ final episodes are going to entail.
