Devastating announcements unveiled concerning the future of the acclaimed Western series, potentially ending fan-favorite episodes and storylines.
Justified's Fate: Still Unclear?
Hey there! Let's talk about the legendary FX series, "Justified," shall we? This badass show ran from 2010 to 2015, and boy, was it a blast! Walton Goggins and Timothy Olyphant knocked it out of the park as Boyd Crowder and Raylan Givens.
Then, in 2023, "Justified: City Primeval" hit the screens, leaving us with a tantalizing cliffhanger – Boyd crowdin' up and Raylan ready to face off once more. But, here's the kicker – it's been a cool two years since "City Primeval," and there's been zilch news about season 7.
What's the scoop on Justified's return?
Back then, the rumors swirled like a Kentucky bourbon – the show was for sure coming back. But these days, it looks like the bar might've closed its doors.
The initial reports hinted at a return, but those whispers seem to have gone south. In fact, it appears Walton Goggins may have dropped a bomb without anyone noticing.
Remember that lengthy chat he had with Vulture in April? He seemed less than optimistic about a potential return. As a die-hard fan, it felt like a roundhouse kick to the gut when he said:
"I'd be surprised if that happens. I really believe we've said everything we need to say, but I never say never to anything in life. I'm just so grateful that I got to say words in Boyd's voice, and use his delivery again. I don't know the answer to that question, but that would probably have to be down the road, and we'd be too old to do it anyway."
Yep, it seems the dream of another showdown between TV's greatest villain and Raylan might be a pipe dream at this point.
It's wild that this potential nail in the coffin went pretty much unnoticed. If Goggins' word is indeed our bond, then fans of "Justified" have been dealt a kick to the shins.
Hang onto hope, or does the horse have left the barn?
The world can sometimes be as cruel as a Harlan County moonshine still – but, Justified fans remain hopeful. If the show is truly done, it's been a bonkers ride, and we can finally do our best to move on, though deep down we probably still hold on to a glimmer of hope that the sun will rise again on this lawless corner of television.
Maybe there are a few more surprises in store for us. At this point, it seems like a long shot, but stranger things have happened!
So, what about you? Do you still want one more season of "Justified"? Sound off at David.Hookstead@our website if you do! And let's keep those memories of the iconic final closing moments alive, shall we?
In light of Walton Goggins' recent statements, it seems the return of Justified may be nothing but apipe dream for fans at this point. Yet, Justified enthusiasts remain hopeful, holding onto the faint possibility that there could be a final season to bring this lawless TV series to a close.
