HBO renews Boardwalk Empire for fourth season There are a lot of things that haunt Nucky and whether or not he completely moves on from any of them remains to be seen. That's not the glad-handing politician who'll stop and shake your hand and make small talk. I mean, when you see him at the end and on the boardwalk and the guy says, "Hey, you're Nucky Thompson aren't you?" and he just looks at the guy, that's a different Nucky than we've ever seen. I think by the end of the season, Nucky has learned a big lesson about being a gangster. Will her death continue to impact Nucky or will she serve as a reminder to not make that mistake again? Part of Nucky taking his eye off the ball was his relationship with Billie Kent (Meg Chambers Steedle). That was the moment where Gyp crossed the line on the wrong person, and Tonino lets him have it. He underestimated his lieutenant, and that's the guy who put the knife in his back. Beating a guy to death with a shovel on the beach was the fatal mistake that Gyp made. The interesting thing about the downfall of a guy like Gyp for us was that you can't really rule by fear and intimidation too long before you end up like Mussolini - strung up by your own people. Winter: When you're Gyp Rosetti, there's probably no shortage of enemies. How did you decide that Tonino would be the one to do it? Several people had a chance to kill Gyp in the finale. I wouldn't say that anybody's safe on this show. Nucky is not infallible and anything can happen. He really took his eye off the ball in a big way this year, and a guy like Gyp Rosetti starts out to be a tiny problem and becomes the biggest problem Nucky may have ever had. Winter: Certainly Jimmy's death shows that we're not afraid to make bold moves on this show. Or is there a point where we move beyond Nucky's story?

Jimmy was a part of it, but that's not what the series was about.īy that same logic, Nucky's war with Gyp Rosetti seemingly could only end the way it did: with Nucky alive and Gyp dead. I think the show is equally viable without Jimmy as it was with Jimmy. Obviously, it was a momentous event in the course of the series, but I wasn't really trying to set out like, "How do we top this?" I want every season finale to be exciting and I really don't compare them. There's always pressure to do a good show, but I felt like I moved past that by the time the Season 2 finale aired. Terence Winter: I wouldn't say there was pressure to live up to it. Below, creator Terence Winter discusses the events of the finale and teases what's to come in Season 4.ĭid you feel any added pressure with this season finale given how huge last year's was with Jimmy's death?

Nucky's a full gangster all right, but he's still got plenty of enemies. Attorney Esther Randolph ( Julianne Nicholson) on the trail of Rothstein's bootlegging dealings at Overholt. Plus, Nucky's deal with Rothstein was revealed to be one big double-cross when Andrew Mellon ( James Cromwell) put Asst. Although Nucky proved as skilled an operator as ever, he's seemingly lost Margaret ( Kelly Macdonald), who has moved to Brooklyn and cares little about ever taking another dime from Nucky.

So, everything's great, right? Not so fast. Although Rosetti escaped his brothel headquarters without being killed by Nucky's assassin Richard Harrow ( Jack Huston), Nucky found a backstabbing ally in Rosetti's own lieutenant Tonino (Chris Caldovino), whose cousin Gyp had violently beaten to death earlier in the season. To bring an end to his ongoing war with hothead Gyp Rosetti ( Bobby Cannavale), Nucky ( Steve Buscemi) promised control of the Old Overholt Distillery to Arnold Rothstein ( Michael Stuhlbarg), who in turn convinced New York mobster Joe Masseria to pull his support of Rossetti.
