Title: More Carnivale ?

| Meanwhile, another seemingly doomed series with a similarly expressive following may in fact be headed back to television. MediaVillage has heard that HBO is seriously considering developing a two hour movie or a four-hour miniseries that would tie up the tantalizing loose ends from the final episode of its supernatural dust-bowl drama Carnivale. (The series ended in an abrupt manner that infuriated its loyal viewers, leaving them to wonder if Ben the healer could survive his violent confrontation with the evil Brother Justin, and if the newly possessed Sofie would succeed in bringing Justin back to life.) The new production would be telecast sometime in 2007. Further, if that movie or mini does well, MediaVillage has been told the pay cable giant might even consider resurrecting the franchise as an ongoing series in 2008. |
Fingers well and truly crossed !!

I thought Daniel Knauf was pretty adamant that he wouldn't do any two hour film to tie up the loose ends as it would be totally inadequate to tell the story he wanted to tell ? :ponder:

I think I can see where they're going with it.
I think they're separating out the Ben/Justin story. Originally the show was supposed to go for six seasons, with three separate, but interlaced stories being told over a two season span. It looks like they're bringing forward the conclusion of the Ben/Justin story, and if the movie/mini series is successful that'll still allow them to move onto one of the other story arcs.
All theoretical of course. Personally, I'd just settle for a conclusion to the Ben/Justin story.
