The Knick Season 3 in the works. Andre Holland and Barry Jenkins onboard

[FistofJustice]

I need this to happen. This show was so fukking good.

Two years ago (at least), a source close to both camps told me a good story about “The Knick,” Soderbergh’s turn-of-the-century medical drama that ran for two seasons on Cinemax from 2014-2016: Barry Jenkins and “The Knick” co-star André Holland were discussing to the idea of reviving the series for a third, or brand new season now starring Holland’s Dr. Algernon C. Edwards character (Clive Owen’s lead character died at the end of Season 2).

The idea was still germinating, percolating and the concept was Jenkins would direct (or, at least some of it), but it was still early gestating days and seemed premature to report. But in a recent interview with Soderbergh to discuss “Wireless,” a new innovative mobile-phone thriller on Quibi he executive–produced, the filmmaker confirmed the news to me when I put the story to him directly.


Soderbergh even confirmed that original creators, showrunners, and writers Jack Amiel and Michael Begler were back on board and had already written a pilot episode. “[André and Barry] came up with a really great approach with Jack and Michael,” he explained. “And that seems to be advancing rapidly. I just read the pilot, which is terrific.

Don't fukking lie to me internet, I need this shyt more than air to breathe.

Season 1 is still the GOAT season of any television show ever made, fukk what you think.

 

[MidniteJay]

Thank you TV gawds. A whole bunch of my shyt got canceled this year but I would have sacrificed them all for this to come back anyway.

The Knick was the show that inspired me to create a Coli account. This is the only place I knew of that was discussing the show.

Man, I want this to be good, and to exist, so badly.....and I love Holland and Jenkins.

But no Soderbergh? The original 2 seasons are just Soderbergh being a fukking genius for 20 eps. His direction, camerawork and lighting REALLY make that show what it is.

That said, him giving his blessing as it appears is pretty cool. And if it keeps even 75% of his aesthetic, it will be fukking amazing.

Yeah, his directing was a big part of the show. Maybe the 1st time I really noticed a director's impact on a show with camera placement, etc. But if they have a good idea to continue and Barry Jenkins gets involved in some of the directing

I can only hope. With Warrior coming to HBO Max, I don't see why The Knick and other Cinemax Originals wouldn't be on its way in due time.

A damn shame this didn't originally air on HBO. shyt was well deserving of a Sunday night timeslot and most likely would've been a hit. Cinemax did this show and Quarry dirty with their poor marketing.

A rare dub for 2020 though, so I'll take it.

Bruh don't play with my emotions. And a Black Director with as much attention to detail as Soderberg?

 

[Devilinurear]

Got both seasons and watching tonight.
