What’s in store for The Deuce? Recently, creators David Simon and George Pelecanos spoke with Collider about the future of the HBO TV show.
The gritty drama centers on the rise of modern-day pornography in 1970s New York City. The cast includes James Franco, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Carr, Margarita Levieva, Lawrence Gilliard, Jr., Dominique Fishback, Emily Meade, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Chris Bauer, Chris Coy, Natalie Paul, Sepideh Moafi, Kayla Foster, and Michael Rispoli.
In the interview, Simon revealed he has two more seasons planned for The Deuce if HBO decides to continue the show:
Assuming that all the critics in the world don’t come down on our heads and it finds an audience of some sort, it’s planned for two more seasons. The ensuing season will be in the late’70s, after these characters have been around, in this world, for about four or five years. And then, the final season we’ve planned for is ‘85/’86, which is when Times Square came crashing down around their heads. That would conclude it.”
