HBO to keep Carnivale open, returns late 2004
 

HBO is keeping its circus tent open as the pay channel has renewed its freshman drama "Carnivale" for a second season of 13 episodes. Production is slated to begin in the spring for a late 2004 premiere date.

"Carnivale" opened to 5.3 million viewers in September but tumbled to 3.5 million viewers for its finale last month. HBO however has a history of sticking by some of its lower-rated series including "The Wire" and "Oz" in recent years.

Executive producers Daniel Knauf and Howard Klein will remain with the show for its second go around however Ronald D. Moore is not expected to return. The network also kept mum about which cast members will return for the new season as its recent finale left the fate of several characters up in the air.

Thanx for the post. This is good news. I would have been mad if they had strung us along for the 1st season and not renewed it. They needed the 2nd season, so that they can clear up the many questions that we have.

I still have 12 episodes sitting in my Tivo, unwatched.

You may as well leave them there a while...looks like we're in for a long wait :(

Maybe we should take bets on how many months it gets delayed

Somehow I have a feeling half the questions will be left unresolved and twice as many new questions brought up.

Excellent news. I hope they can get Ron to write at least one episode. The two he penned were among the best of the season.

Great news indeed! :up:

Bad move. They should've wrapped it up in one season.

And that season could've been condensed to about 6 episodes with the pace picked up a bit.

Maybe they could have just announced the premise and let us imagine it for ourselves.
