Is Carnivale Coming Back To HBO?

Please say it is true.. I so want it to be true.

Wasn't this rumour around a long time ago. That HBO had offered the makers a tv movie or mini-series to wrap up the story but were turned down because they believed it would not do the story justice.

The rumor was that HBO wanted to wrap up the whole series in a TV movie or mini-series, to which Daniel Knauf (the creator) refused. However, this rumor states that they would make a movie/mini-series to wrap up the cliffhanger set up at the end of season two. This lets them move the story forward while gauging interest in bring the series back to tell the rest of the story properly. It is basically like making 2 to 4 episodes worth of story that will have a (hopefully temporary) ending.

The last time I heard this rumour was months ago, so I'm very glad to see it undemised.

First of all, I'd like a season 2 DVD box set.

Yeah, it's been over a year since the second season aired. A season 2 DVD set would be much appreciated. Of course, if they're waiting until this rumored TV movie is ready to release the box set, we could be waiting a long time.

holy schnikies...how cool would that be. This was such a glimmer of hope in worthwhile TV watching for me.

The long delay in the DVD release is one of the reasons I think this rumor's got legs, actually. Think about it ... HBO knew before the end of season two that it wouldn't be coming back. From a business standpoint the best move, then, would've been to get the DVD set together quickly and release it to either follow close after the end of the show or to coincide with the official cancellation announcement to ride the buzz in the fan community. i.e. it's the show's last gasp, get it while you still can. HBO are way too savvy in the marketing department to not realize that waiting as long as they have has hurt the potential sales numbers because the show simply isn't in the public mind now the way it was.

So why wait? Probably because the fan outcry was so strong when the cancellation was announced that they started exploring at least possible ways of bringing it back and are planning on using the DVD release to springboard into whatever they do next. From a marketing standpoint it's the only thing that makes sense.

Season 2 DVD?
