HBO has renewed 'Boardwalk Empire' for a 3rd season.'Boardwalk Empire' most recent episode gathered 2.85 million viewers and a 1.2 rating in the adult demo. The drama about Atlantic City during Prohibition won the Emmy for best directing this year, and racked up seven more statues for technical achievements, but some thought it had a chance at more prestigious wins.
"Following a triumphant first season, I was eager to see what Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese and the rest of their stellar team had in store, and they continue to surpass our highest expectations," said HBO president of programming Michael Lombardo. "The response from the media and our viewers has been extremely gratifying."
The renewal follows a series of recent drama series pickups, including for "True Blood," "Game of Thrones" and "Treme," as well as commitments to the new shows "Luck," "Veep," "Girls," "Life’s Too Short" and Aaron Sorkin’s as-yet untitled project.
The show's first season won eight Emmys, including Scorsese's for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.
