SAVE DEADWOOD!

Last Update: 06/12/2006 02:09 AM EDT

On June 4, it was reported that HBO and David Milch had reached a tentative agreement to extend "Deadwood" past a third season by producing two two-hour film "episodes".  While this is not the

full fourth season we had been hoping for, Milch has stated that he believes it will allow him to

complete the story he envisioned in a satisfactory manner.  

This was always the mission of savedeadwood.net

To the extent that Deadwood fans' efforts to save the show had an influence on the outcome, we should

all be proud, and can look forward to the third season knowing that it need not spell the end of

this fantastic show.

Negotiations with the cast and crew must still be undertaken; we hope that these will resolve to a

fair result for all concerned.   We will continue to monitor progress, and make no mistake, stand ready

to mobilize again should it become necessary.

However, now that the third season has begun, it is time to let the show do the talking, at least for a little while.

For historical purposes, the final version of the savedeadwood.net page prior to the announcement

can be found here. 

Don't forget, transcripts of the show can be found here.

ENJOY SEASON THREE!

Huzzah!
