It’s been roughly eleven years since the last episode of Deadwood. The western series was cancelled after its third season. As the show had a massive following, heart broken fans kept their fingers crossed in hopes that one day it would return.

In April, Creator David Milch sent HBO a script. Today, confirmation has been made that through the network, Deadwood will return as a film. Dan Minahan will be the director, as he has directed four of Deadwood‘s television episodes in the past. According to sources, a majority of the actors have signed on and filming will start in the fall.
