Deadwood Returns!

November 9, 2018
   Yes, the rumors are true. A wrap up version of "Deadwood" is filming even as you read this.

   According to Entertainment Weekly, Timothy Olyphant will again star as Seth Bullock and Ian McShane is back as Al Swearengen, and series creator David Milch wrote the script and is back as showrunner.

  Here’s the first-ever description of the plot: “The indelible characters of the series are reunited after ten 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.”

Here’s the confirmed list of returning cast members: 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). The film will also feature new cast member, Jade Pettyjohn (playing Caroline).

   Powers Boothe, who played Swearengen’s nemesis, the cruel Cy Tolliver, passed away last year.
