Sadly for Deadwood fans (myself included) HBO made it clear today that there is almost no possibility of ever seeing the once-promised TV movies that were intended to wrap up the storyline from the acclaimed series.
HBO's Richard Plepler noted that following Deadwood ending, series creator David Milch had moved quickly onto the short-lived HBO series John From Cincinnati and now is at work at a new HBO series, Last of the Ninth. Said Plepler, "that's really where he's put his energies. I think it's safe to report to you that the likelihood of the Deadwood movies happening is slim to none."

We think we know what Al has to say about the Deadwood movies not happening. Hint, it starts with a "C."
Asked if a script was ever completed for one of the movies, HBO's Michael Lombardo said, "We had never even gotten that far in terms of the process. It was really more of a discussion stage and it's never gone beyond that." He added that as time has gone on, the logistics have become incredibly difficult, with several of the Deadwood stars now series regulars on other shows. Summing up, Lombardo said of the Deadwood movies, "It did not really come together and coalesce."
