"Deadwood" Wrap-Up Movie: It's Finally (Maybe) Happening

August 12, 2015

"Deadwood", the Western drama that HBO cancelled in 2006, might soon get a satisfying conclusion: Sources confirm to TVLine that talks between the network and series creator David Milch have indeed resumed.

The project — which likely will take the form of a movie — had been rumored for some time; in 2014, star Kim Dickens told Michael Ausiello that a continuation was a “possibility.”

Garret Dillahunt, who played Francis Wolcott aka Jack McCall on the beloved series, tweeted some encouraging news Wednesday evening:

"So uh....I'm hearing credible rumors about a #Deadwood movie. #Everybodypray"

When asked for comment, an HBO rep said, “In reference to Garret Dillahunt’s tweet regarding the rumored Deadwood movie, there have only been very preliminary conversations.”

Following the show’s abrupt cancellation after three seasons, HBO announced plans to produce two two-hour wrap-up movies, but the project eventually died.

It was HBO’s best-ever series, and changed the way we look at Ian McShane.
