The Emmy-winning HBO drama series BOARDWALK EMPIRE will return for its eight-episode, fifth and final season Sept. 7, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.

From Terence Winter, Emmy-winning writer of “The Sopranos” and Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, BOARDWALK EMPIRE is set in the Prohibition era and chronicles the life and times of Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, the undisputed leader of Atlantic City. The first four seasons took place during the 1920s. In the final season, which takes place in the depths of the Depression in 1931, Nucky recalls his Atlantic City roots and plots a post-Prohibition future.

Among the critical raves for the fourth season of BOARDWALK EMPIRE, New York’s Daily News said it “remains must-see television drama,” while People called it “terrific” and a “gripping spectacle.” The Chicago Tribune hailed the show’s “achingly good performances,” and Variety termed it “one of TV’s most compelling dramas.”

In Sept. 2013, BOARDWALK EMPIRE received five Emmy Awards, the most of any series, in the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards competition, including Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Bobby Cannavale); Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series; Outstanding Hairstyling for a Single-Camera Series; Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour); and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series.

In 2012, the show received four Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (Tim Van Patten). In 2011, the series led all programming with eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series (Martin Scorsese). In Jan. 2011, BOARDWALK EMPIRE received two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Television Series – Drama and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama (Steve Buscemi).

In Dec. 2013, the show received three Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, including Outstanding Ensemble Performance in a Drama Series, Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series and Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series (Steve Buscemi). In both 2012 and 2011, the series received two Screen Actors Guild awards, for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series (Steve Buscemi).

Great news!  We finally have an air date for season 5: September 7th if you missed it.  Check out the first trailer and buckle up.  This promises to be a crazy ride into the Atlantic City Sunset this fall.

There is certainly some key plot moments that are skipped which doesn’t seem like a smart idea.

Maybe, and I don’t think this would be the appropriate plot devise, we see Nucky in a reflective mood as this last season opens and he has flashbacks to tie up some of those elements in an episode or two before moving forward in time.

(Did that make sense?)

I’ve been retroactively thinking about this, and the 8 episodes part still doesn’t really bother me.

What does is the time-skip – we’re missing out not only on some great historical developments and character deaths, but also the whole subplot that was teased at the end of Narcisse’s Season 4 arc (in becoming involved with Marcus Garvey). It will no doubt be skipped/greatly condensed.

I have no clue when they will announce it but, and this is pure speculation on my part, I expect that it will take over the Sunday night timeslot from Boardwalk Empire within the first few weeks of November
