Season 5 of Boardwalk Empire will be its last

[K-Deini]

season 5 is gonna skip five years, so 1929. prohibition ends in 1933, thought thats how they wouldve ended it but i guess not.

where did you hear that?

where did you hear that?

Michael k Williams was interviewed at the knick game few days back and said all he knows is that theyre skipping five years. knows nothing else. seemed kinda disappointed that its ending so prematurely.

If they want to end it as properly as they can, expect a lot of time skipping. My guess would be focusing on Nucky's equals slowly disappearing from the game (Torrio, Rothstein and Masseria), and as their protégés Capone, Lansky and Luciano rise to power, and with the end of Prohibition in sight, have Nucky realize that as his era is coming to an end, he has no person to carry on his legacy, having killed the only man worthy to be his protégé, the person he'd considered his own son, Jimmy Darmody. Full circle, HBO don't even has to pay me.

I wonder if they start the first episode with Eli's son in full beast mode. He has to hold his family down while his pop is on the run.

We've seen enough of capones rise. Can't believe y'all want this dragged out for another 3-4 seasons. Show has run its course

we havent seen any rise from capone, he was just given the reigns late this season after torrio was shot up. him against hymie weiss and bugs moran is where he begins his rise. then add van alden/eli in the mix and makes an interesting storyline for chicago.

Yeah more mob killings and backroom deals. That's been the show for five seasons, it will be the same shyt if it continues. And it will all be limited since the show has to focus on nucky and AC. Just my opinion, this show is just not that interesting

They skipping to 1929? So we gonna miss Capone's rise and a another *major event*. And we won't see the formation of the commission? Damn.

 

[jay211]

They should've spun off Boardwalk Empire and did a Lansky/Luciano/Capone series. And focused on Chicago and New York. Man this ain't a good look.

Spoiler

Rothstein dies in November 1928. Hopefully Season plays out from November through March so we get to see the Valentine's Day Massacre.

Spoiler

They really need to do a spin-off for NYC after this though. Too much history to leave out

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

fukkin disappointed at this news still

 

[Nino Soprano]

I'm not diggin this so far brehs

It shoulda finished with season 6 or 7



At least split the season so we get 16 episodes

There's so many storylines to touch for a final season

Spoiler

i think AR gonna get bodied end of the 1st episode and that will set course the final season....his last scene CANT be him chillin with Schroeder

What the fukk are you talking about? Nucky sent Eli away to escape the Feds and that's is his extended family, he going to take care of them just like he did when Eli went to prison for awhile. Eli is earning in Chicago and he can send money back also. William is not going to be a factor at all , this is the final season and they have a huge cast and tons of stories to tell and you think they going to follow Williams rise???
