I recently spoke to "Boardwalk Empire" creator Terence Winter about the new season. An edited version of our chat:
People said the same thing about the end of season 2 and felt it could be the series' finale. Same thing here. In a way, what we do is reset the table every year, and reinventing this year is no different.
Jeffrey's just an incredibly compelling actor in everything he does, and this is no exception. He slowly gets his claws into Nucky and Chalky's world and things heat up from there.
Hoover very famously denied the existence of organized crime up until 1960 after 1957's Apalachin, N.Y. mob summit proved him wrong] but we're positing fictionally that there was this agent, who we will reveal in subsequent episodes [who] comes up with the organized mob theory. Hoover's not interested but gives him the green light anyway.
Livingston's character] is someone who becomes a prospective love interest for Gillian and as that heats up, it becomes much more complicated [while] Nucky, by episode 3 finds his way to Florida in the midst of a land boom. Arquette plays someone who works in a speakeasy. . . . The two of them strike up a relationship.
She'll be back -- it'll be a surprise but she will absolutely be back.
I would love to do several more years if the audience and HBO will have us. We have tons more story to tell and I hope to get to it. . . . I know where I want our characters to end up.
