Ever since the series was canceled after it’s third season years ago, fans have been begging HBO and the creators of DEADWOOD to bring back the Western drama for another round. While fans won’t get another full season order of the series a new movie will take its place, reuniting all the actors from the original series, including Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, John Hawkes, Molly Parker, Anna Gunn and more. The official trailer for the movie brings back all these characters and offers a welcome return to Deadwood, South Dakota, and all the danger, shady dealings and bouts of violence that come with the territory.

For fans of the series, this will an emotional experience, getting to see all the (un)friendly faces back on screen after 13 years away. The characters certainly have more grey in their perfect beards and mustaches – especially Olyphant’s Seth Bullock and McShane’s Al Swearengen. The latter two haven’t skipped a beat, with the latter still grizzled and vulgar and Bullock having that tough steadfastness. They and their dynamic with Senator George Hearst (Gerald McRaney) are the focus of the trailer, while you can see moments with Hawkes, Parker, Gunn and other returning characters.
