Not too long ago, HBO has confirmed that its untimely canceled Western drama series "Deadwood" will have a telemovie revival that will close off the storylines after ten years from its cancellation, which only had three seasons. Fans have suggested that the series deserves to have more seasons when it was unexpectedly canceled in 2006.

According to Dark Horizons, David Milch, the series creator and executive producer of "Deadwood" was slated by HBO to work on the project but almost a year later, he has not given some updates yet as to how it is making progress. The series' key star Ian McShane talked about it and said HBO must hurry with its plan for the series as he and remaining cast might not be available in the event that the project has to move forward.

"All the other people are free, none of us will be free for much longer," McShane told the Nerdist via Podcast. He also said that he has heard that a script for "Deadwood" is being written although he will only believe it when he's already on the street sporting his muddy boots.

He also added that now is the perfect time to get "Deadwood" going as it's been a decade since HBO wrapped it and he seemed to be open to coming back to the character of Al Swearengen. The series became popular and critical hit because of its extraordinary writing in creating the 19th century period and the characters were also remarkable, reports Cinema Blend.

He went on to explain that the high cost and lots of complications of the series production were the reasons why HBO can't simply move forward with the project. Moreover, the cast included Molly Parker, Timothy Olyphant, Brad Dourif, W. Earl Brown, John Hawkes, Dayton Callie, Paula Malcomson, Leon Rippy, Jim Beaver, William Sanderson, Robin Weigert, Kim Dickens, Sean Bridgers, Titus Welliver, Anna Gunn and Powers Boothe.
