MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 "Carnivale" will reopen its tent next year on HBO. Sources said the premium cable network has greenlighted a second season for the primetime series, ordering 13 more episodes. Production is expected to begin in the spring in anticipation of returning the Depression-era drama to air sometime in late 2004. Created by Daniel Knauf, "Carnivale" completed its 13-episode rookie season earlier this month with an episode drawing 3.5 million total viewers, just under its season average. While HBO's more established series such as "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" attract much bigger audiences, "Carnivale" earned a respectable viewership on par with another of its critically acclaimed dramas, "The Wire." The series appeared to hit a ratings trough early against stiff competition on the broadcast networks but surged in the latter half of its run even as its lead-out, the faux-reality series "K Street," faltered. Launched simultaneously with "Carnivale," "Street" will not return for a second season. "Carnivale" is executive produced by Knauf and Howard Klein. Knauf is repped by Agency for the Performing Arts' Marc Pariser. (Andrew Wallenstein) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/telev...tent_id=2050845 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2003 About a boy with special powers(He can heal people, but must take lives to do so) who is picked up by the Carnivale. Many weird things happen while he is there.Lotsa freaks and stuff. I really enjoyed this show at the beggning and the end (Got kinda stale in th middle I thought) but I don't like the Lesbian storyline, I think it's pretty damn stupid, although, I am glad it was renewed, and I'll atleast start watching the second season. Also on a related topic, "Sopranos" gets more viewers because its more exposed AND because it owns MUCHO more ass. Sopranos>Carnivale. Half the time in Carnivale I was thinking it was some kinda Fantasy Soap Opera(Not in any kid of good ways either.) Anyway, I think Sopranos Season 5 starts in January, is this right because im really looking foward to it(Just finished watching Season 4 on DVD last weekend). Shields looking awesome too. Sorry for getting so much off topic. SFJEB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
