Synopsis Deadwood ushers in some new arrivals on the stagecoach: Jack Langrishe, a flamboyant stage promoter and old friend of Swearengen, and Aunt Lou Marchbanks, Hearst's longtime cook who settles in nicely as the Grand Central chef. Also returning to town is a newly Westernised Wu, with news for "Swegin" about a soon-to-arrive group of imported Hearst workers. Apparently recovered from her ailments, with the aid of a reliable pal Alma decides to approach Hearst with a claim deal, despite Ellsworth's adamant objections. Bullock uncovers the truth about the Gem killings, and vows to put Hearst on notice. Hearst calls Tolliver's bluff, then offers him a "fresh start."
In the highly anticipated third season of this Emmy Award-winning drama, the muddy outlaw camp of Deadwood marches slowly toward civilisation, but the power struggles show no sign of letting up. Battles over money, land, influence and whores continue as the founding fathers form strategic and invariably bloody alliances to face the threat of the powerful newcomer, George Hearst, seeking to remake Deadwood in his own image.
Created and executive produced by David Milch (NYPD Blue), this groundbreaking drama was nominated for 22 Emmys, won seven, and earned a Golden Globe (for star Ian McShane) in its first season. With the return of cast regulars Timothy Olyphant as Sheriff Seth Bullock, McShane as town boss Al Swearengen and Molly Parker as Alma Garret, and with the introduction of Gerald McRaney as a power-hungry George Hearst, Deadwood continues to be one of the most acclaimed dramas on television.
