It’s an almost-absolute certainty that Deadwood will never receive the two, 2-hour movies that we were all promised to wrap up the series, and that is a damn shame. Ian McShane has moved on to a new series for NBC - maybe we have to follow suit. (Hollywood Reporter)

Entitled Kings, the drama is “loosely based” on the story of King David. McShane plays King Silas, and Australian actor Christopher Egan is set to star as David. Hollywood Reporter is calling this a “contemporary soap.”  (Modern day kings and young warriors?)  Michael Green, who has been a writer for Heroes, wrote the pilot for Kings and will executive produce.
