In addition, according to HBO’s press release, last season, Boardwalk Empire:

averaged 8.6 million viewers an episode. To date, the first episode of the current season has already gathered 7.2 million viewers and will continue to grow via additional telecasts, DVR playback and HBO On Demand and HBO GO.

One of the reasons behind this renewal was voiced by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming:

Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese and the rest of their outstanding team continue to produce a stunning show that never fails to surprise and entertain.We are excited to bring this unique series back for a fourth season.

Bobby Cannavale as mobster Gyp Rosetti

As far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t be happier. Especially now that Bobby Cannavale has joined the cast as Gyp Rosetti, the mobster who doesn’t think twice about pulling the trigger. Of course, I have no way of knowing how long Rosetti is long for this earth, but a girl can hope, right?

Tune in to Boardwalk Empire Sundays at 9:00 pm ET/PT, only on HBO.
