HBO’s ‘Deadwood’ Officially Finds New Life 22 Years Later

With the kind of resurgence that Westerns have seen in recent years, it's about time that one of the genre's greatest achievements has found an audience on digital as well. The series in question premiered in 2004 and aired for three critically acclaimed seasons on HBO. It returned with a long-awaited feature film follow-up in 2019, thereby joining other HBO classics such as Sex and the City, Entourage, and The Sopranos that have received movie spin-offs. Created by David Milch, the Western series featured several historical figures who've also been portrayed in other films and shows. In the last decade or so, the Western genre has had a major resurgence, thanks in major part to the work of Taylor Sheridan.
