EMMY®-WINNING SERIES BANSHEE TO RETURN
TO CINEMAX FOR ITS FOURTH SEASON IN 2016

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2015 – The hit action series BANSHEE will return to CINEMAX in 2016 for a fourth season of eight episodes, which will shoot in Pittsburgh, Pa., it was announced today by Kary Antholis, president, HBO Miniseries and Cinemax Programming. The Emmy®-winning show is currently in its third season, with episodes debuting Fridays at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT). BANSHEE’s fourth season will be executive produced by Alan Ball, Greg Yaitanes, Jonathan Tropper, Peter Macdissi, Adam Targum and Ole Christian Madsen.

Returning cast and crew will be announced when they are confirmed.

BANSHEE’s third season launched last month to rave reviews. Yahoo! called the show “wildly witty,” and the Huffington Post described BANSHEE as “one of TV’s most reliable pleasures,” while the A.V. Club noted, “The BANSHEE team remains in full command of their instrument.” TV Guide has described BANSHEE as “addictively entertaining” and Grantland said the show is “a whole hell of a lot of fun.”

Debuting in Jan. 2013, BANSHEE stars Antony Starr (“Wish You Were Here”) as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Pa., where he continues his criminal pursuits while enforcing his own code of justice.

In addition to Starr, season three stars include Ivana Milicevic (“Untitled Cameron Crowe Project,” HBO’s “Mind of the Married Man”) as Carrie Hopewell, a notorious jewel thief who lives in Banshee under an assumed identity with her family, which has recently learned of her criminal past; Ulrich Thomsen (“The Celebration”) as Kai Proctor, an intimidating, wealthy businessman who believes he is above the law; Frankie Faison (“The Good Wife,” HBO’s “The Wire”) as Sugar Bates, a powerful and wise former boxer and ex-con who is now the owner of the local watering hole; and Hoon Lee (“The Blacklist”) as Job, a dangerous transvestite computer hacker who assists Lucas and Carrie in their criminal enterprises.

In Sept. 2013, BANSHEE received a Primetime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role.

Season three credits: BANSHEE was created by Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler; executive producers, Alan Ball, Greg Yaitanes, Jonathan Tropper and Peter Macdissi; producer, Robert F. Phillips.

  3. Yes! I wasn't that worried about it's chances for renewal but it's still great to hear. Banshee has suddenly become one of my favourite shows right now.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Hang on, only 8 episodes? Cinemax what are you playing at? But renewal so yay!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Might be because Greg Yaitanes, Banshee's showrunner, is now working on a new Cinemax series with Logan Marshall-Green. Maybe he has to squeeze Banshee in with the other show?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Oh I missed that part.

    Maybe we'll get a 2 hr premiere and 2 hr finale ;)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Yes! My TV news just keeps getting better and better.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yeah but they'll consider it 401/402 and 407/408

    So even more waiting then lol

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yay!!!!! Banshee is my favorite show right now, I am soooo happy we get another season!! Hopefully that means that they will not kill all the citizens of Banshee this season. :-)

  10. 2nd Best News I Heard Today

    ReplyDelete
  11. Fantastic news!, but why only 8 episodes? I hope some info about it from Banshee crew will be posted. They need to explain that to fans.

    ReplyDelete
  12. YAY!!!!

    But why only 8 episodes? Cinemax series usually don't last long, so I am a bit worried.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ah! Hope it is due to time constraints and not winding up the show. I would love it if the show went to S5 and then wrapped up.

    ReplyDelete
  14. YAYYYYYY ! but why 8 episodes, not 10 ? oh well ... *dances happily to the news*

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yaitanes said the plan was to get to season 5.

  16. Awesome! I've been catching up with this show on On Demand because so many people have praised it on this site! So glad I caved in because it is really an epic thrill ride. Just finished the season 1 finale and now I'm on to season 2. Also, it's such a shame that not a lot of people know about this little gem of a show.

  17. See, a show like this (which flies below the mainstream radar) could always be used to surprise your friends/relatives. And then watch them with smug faces as they discover the pure insanity, perversion and awesomeness of this show.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Good. Glad to know it's a money related decision to keep the show affordable. I'd rather it be that than other draconian circumstances.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Awesome to have another fanshee :)

    Glad you're enjoying it. You've got a number of awesome episodes ahead of you!

  20. I can't wait! I hear that season 1 is nothing compared to these next two seasons and that it gets even more batshit crazy haha.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ha! I've actually gotten a couple of my friends to start watching it as well and let's just say they were incredibly surprised at how badass it is XD

    ReplyDelete
  22. I don't think there was much doubt that there would be a fourth season, but it's brilliant to have it in writing at last :))

    ReplyDelete
  23. Nice one, I'm always glad to see another new viewer. It really is one of the best shows on TV!

    ReplyDelete
  24. That is very true. It's one of those shows that gets better and better every season :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Great news. And well, if they're saving money I have a feeling the cast payroll will be a lot smaller before this season is done.


    About the relocation. Can't be a bad thing to have a show set in Pennsylvania actually being filmed there y'know.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah, it was actually you, @DarkUFO , and@DebraFan that convinced me to start watching it so thank you :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Excellent news...keep them coming, forever....

  28. You're welcome, I'm happy you like it and have got others watching it too. Now they have to persuade at least one other person to watch it as well, and then those people have to get another couple of people watching, and so on and so forth ;) lol

    ReplyDelete
  29. HA! Agreed! Banshee only averages around 500,000 viewers per week which is unacceptable. Gotta spread the word out about this fantastic show.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Great news!


    I'm interested to see where it goes every year!
    I cannot imagine it lasting forever, but each new season is thrilling!

  33. wait what 8 episodes? awno, but stil yea...

    ReplyDelete
  34. I had no doubts. It is going to be hard to watch a full season of no Siobhan though, but I trust the writers.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not really surprised cause the show is freakin awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I would differ from Sandi. I think S1 was by far the best, story-wise. S2 had 2-3 fantastic episodes, but in general, went sideways.

    S3 has some excellent fight / action sequences so far, an interesting shocker in the middle, but it is too early to tell if it can top S1.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Please, please, more than 8 episodes. My favorite show.
