Will be the shows last season, unfortunately.

After much discussion with my creative team and HBO, we’ve decided to wrap the series after such a great run and look forward to bringing it to a powerful and exciting conclusion.

I'm however looking forward to the new season, as Boardwalk Empire has been one of the best shows on television throughout its run.

Shame, but 5 seasons isn't bad for a show.
Going out on complete carnage or a nice happy ending?

Hoping for both tbh.

I am surprised with this as I thought the show would start showing more about Al Capone's story who I thought Stephen Graham plays well, it was slow at times though wondered where it was going half the time.

I enjoyed immensely Stephen Graham's portrayal of Al Capone too! I really hope they do a slightly longer season and tie things up.

Disappointed to read this, it was fast becoming one of my all time favourite tv shows.

Awwww, I love this show, surely they've still got lots of miles left in the tank. Still, Breaking Bad ran for 5 series so maybe it's the fashionable choice

It will be carnage and Capone will be last man standing.

My tablet spellchecker decided that Canon is a good replacement for Capone.

One of the best shows ever, looking forward to watching season 5.

Anyone else think from the trailers that S5 has jumped forward a good few years. Mainly think this due the fact Jimmy's mother appears to be out of prison.

EDIT: Ok then...googles first result...Boardwalk Empire Will Jump Forward 7 Years for Its Final Season

Ah that makes some sense I think. There were a couple of story arcs that I couldn't see them addressing satisfactorily in the current time line. Looking forward to this, I thought it really hit it's stride with s4.
