HBO Eyeing a ‘Deadwood’ Return and ‘Game of Thrones’ Extension
By JEREMY EGNER
JAN. 8, 2016

HBO is looking to bring back a gone-but-not-forgotten fan favorite and extend its current top series further than even the show’s creators originally hoped.

Michael Lombardo, HBO’s president of programming, said on Thursday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that he had approved a movie follow-up to “Deadwood,” David Milch’s poetically grimy western that ran for three seasons before ending rather suddenly in 2006. Mr. Milch will reportedly begin work on a script for the movie, which will run on HBO, when he finishes work on his current project.

“David has our commitment that we are going to do it,” Mr. Lombardo told TV Line, who first reported the movie plan. “He pitched what he thought generally the storyline would be — and knowing David, that could change. But it’s going to happen.”

Rumblings of a return to “Deadwood” have arisen periodically since the show’s end, but they gained steam in August when Garret Dillahunt, an actor on the series, tweeted that he was “hearing credible rumors about a #Deadwood movie.” One challenge would be to align schedules for “Deadwood” stars like Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, Anna Gunn and Kim Dickens, who have remained busy since the show ended.

“I’m going to leave that in David’s hands,” Mr. Lombardo said. “He’s confident he will be able to” make the scheduling work.

Mr. Lombardo also told reporters that HBO was close to a finalizing a two-season extension for “Game of Thrones.” The deal would add a seventh and eighth seasons to the epic fantasy series, which returns for Season 6 on April 24.

Three more seasons would take “Game of Thrones” into at least 2018, though cable dramas, like “Mad Men” on AMC and HBO’s own “The Sopranos,” have been known to split up final seasons.

That said, Mr. Lombardo did not say whether Season 8 would be the last one, and he’s been open about his desire to keep “Game of Thrones,” the most popular show in the cable channel’s history, going for as long as possible. (He’s previously said he’d like it to go 10 seasons.) He first mentioned the likelihood of an eight-season run last summer, though Dan Weiss and David Benioff, the creators, previously said the show would go for seven seasons.

Starting with the new season in April, “Game of Thrones” will progress largely without the blueprint of the George R. R. Martin novels that inspired it — the show’s narrative has surpassed that of Mr. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. Any hopes that the parallel strands of the “Thrones” saga would be at least somewhat contemporaneous were dashed last week, when Mr. Martin announced that he had missed his deadline to finish “The Winds of Winter,” the long-awaited next installment, which means it will not be released before the new season of “Game of Thrones.”

“I can’t tell you when it will be done, or when it will be published,” he wrote in a blog post, adding, “I am not going to set another deadline for myself to trip over. The deadlines just stress me out.”

I missed out on this during the glory days of HBO when I was focused on Six Feet Under, Sopranos, Curb, etc.

Deadwood movie finally greenlit, HBO confirms at last
JAMES HIBBERD July 25, 2018 at 12:05 PM EDT

The Deadwood movie is expected to start shooting this fall.

That’s straight from HBO’s programming president Casey Bloys, who answered a question about the long-long-long awaited follow-up and conclusion to the network’s prematurely canceled 2004 Western series.

“I can finally-finally confirm we are greenlit on Deadwood movie … it will shoot in October,” Bloys said.

Bloys announced the news at the Television Critics Association’s press tour in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. The executive noted it was a “logistical nightmare” to get the ensemble cast — led by Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane — back together.

“We’ve been asked the Deadwood question for 11 consecutive years,” joked HBO corporate communications chief Quentin Schaffer.

Already lost Cy, and it's been so, so long. I suppose most of the primary actors haven't aged in obvious ways, but do they just jump to the town being fully incorporated into the state? They can't just pick up where they left off. It's also been a while since Milch had a series, or proved himself capable of making something as obnoxiously cool as Deadwood was.

‘Deadwood’ Movie Starts Shooting With 12 Returning Cast Members & One New
by Patrick Hipes
November 5, 2018 9:24am

HBO Films’ long-in-the-works Deadwood movie has begun production 12 years after the end of the premium network’s Emmy-winning Western series from David Milch. Most of that original cast is returning for the film, which takes place 10 years after the events of the series that ran three seasons from 2004-2006.

Ian McShane (Al Swearengen), Timothy Olyphant (Seth Bullock), Molly Parker (Alma Ellsworth), Paula Malcomson (Trixie), John Hawkes (Sol Star), Anna Gunn (Martha Bullock), Dayton Callie (Charlie Utter), Brad Dourif (Doc Cochran), Robin Weigert (“Calamity” Jane Canary), William Sanderson (E.B. Farnum), Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs) and Gerald McRaney (George Hearst) return from the original 36-episode run of the series from 2004-2006.

The film includes a new cast member, Jade Pettyjohn, who will play the character of Caroline. Her character info is under wraps, but the actor is next onscreen with Nicole Kidman in Karyn Kusama’s gritty cop drama Destroyer.

The plot, per HBO: The indelible characters of the series are reunited after 10 years to celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Former rivalries are reignited, alliances are tested and old wounds are reopened, as all are left to navigate the inevitable changes that modernity and time have wrought.

Milch, the series creator, wrote the pic, which is being directed by Game of Thrones helmer Daniel Minahan. Milch, Carolyn Strauss, Minahan, Gregg Fienberg, Scott Stephens, McShane and Olyphant are executive producers.

The Deadwood series was nominated for 28 Emmys during its run, winning eight.

In July, HBO president Casey Bloys tipped an October production start for the film, and hinted at a possible spring 2019 debut. He called rustling up the original auspices for the movie “a logistical nightmare.” The network received a near-$4.2 million California Film & TV state tax credit for the production. The hardest part of getting the film up and running had been synching up the schedules of its large ensemble cast.

I couldn't think of a better way to word that, but considering all that was mounted against this thing - time, age, expectation, nostalgia and so on - Deadwood did in two hours what Thrones struggled to do in eight. It provided closure, offered fan service without sacrifice to narrative, and declined to finish a story no sane person should've ever tired of watching.


The Wire was the smartest show, Breaking Bad was the most suspenseful show, Game of Thrones was the most epic shocking show, but Deadwood was all and none of those things in equal measure from sentence to sentence. I'm a wreck, I want more. Hopefully Milch finds peace in having what likely will be his final statement on screen be a resoundingly successful and accomplished one.
