Ian McShane did an interview for TV Guide and confirmed that there were going to be 2, 2 hour Deadwood movies to wrap it up.

"Ian McShane suggests, "It was a very expensive show to do." Expounding on that thought, Swearengen's portrayer says, "On Deadwood it's 15 working days, usually, to do a show, and that was one of the contentious reasons why I think the show was abruptly halted."

Halted, yes, but it also was exalted, by critics as well as viewers. "You'd think with the acclaim it got, we could've reached some kind of finish," McShane shrugs. "And we will, in two two-hour movies" tentatively scheduled to start production in May 2007."
