Preachers of L.A. is an American reality television series that premiered October 9, 2013, on Oxygen.

In January 2014, Oxygen renewed the series for a second season with the original cast returning.[5] It was announced that a spin-off titled Preachers of Detroit would debut on Oxygen in late 2015,[6] with potential spin-offs in New York City, Atlanta and Dallas.[7][8]
