FX has given the official green light to Justified: City Primeval, a sequel to its critically acclaimed drama series Justified seven years after the Emmy and Peabody award-winning show wrapped its six-season run.
Timothy Olyphant will reprise his iconic role of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens and executive produce alongside showrunners and writers Dave Andron and Michael Dinner and original creator Graham Yost.
While the original show was based on Elmore Leonards short story Fire in the Hole, the new series is based on the novel City Primeval: High Noon In Detroit with Olyphants Raylan replacing the novels protagonist Lieutenant Raymond Cruz.
In the new series set eight years later, Givens is now based in Miami and balancing life as a Marshal and part-time father to a teen girl.

So... Justified. This is one of my top five all time favorite shows, Super tight writing, perfectly cast and has a perfect mix of drama, humor and action. Pretty much every time you see Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins on screen together, you are seeing something very special... Here is a taste, not the best as the video claims but... A taste:
It does not appear Goggins is returning, which is a shame... TV needs more Walton Goggins. Olyphant is back as Givens though and he is pretty damn fine... See here, the opening scene from the first episode:
I really hope they get this right and don't fuck it up... I hate it when good shows get shit on.
Lyrics:
On this lonely road, trying to make it home
Doing it by my lonesome-pissed off, who wants some
I'm fighting for my soul, God get at your boy
You try to bogart--fall back, I go hard
On this lonely road, trying to make it home
Doing it by my lonesome-pissed off, who wants some
I see them long hard times to come
Verse 1:
My life is ill son... prepared to kill son
A paradox of pain, baby; it's real son
Lonely traveler, aint trying to battle ya
But if you're feeling tuff dog, I welcome all challengers
Aint got no family, you see there's one of me
Might lose your pulse standing two feet in front of me
I'm pissed at the world, but I aint looking for trouble
I might crack a grin, I aint looking to hug you
Think about it, nobody wants to die
There's rules to this game son, I'm justified
I'm ready to go partner, hey I'm on the run
The devils hugging on my boots that's why I own a gun
This journey's too long, I'm looking for some answers
So much time stressing, I forget the questions
I fear no man, you don't want no problems 'B'
Eyes in the back of my head, you better not follow me
[Chorus]
On this lonely road, trying to make it home
Doing it by my lonesome-pissed off who wants some
I'm fighting for my soul, God get at your boy
You try to bogart--fall back, I go hard
On this lonely road, trying to make it home
Doing it by my lonesome-pissed off, who wants some
I see them long hard times to come
Verse 2:
You probably think I'm crazy, or got some loose screws
But that's alright though--I'm a'do me, you do you
So how you judging me? I'm just trying to survive
And if the time comes, I aint trying to die
I'm just trying to fly, and get a little love
Find me a dime piece and get a little hug
Hook the car up--hit the bar up--clean the scars up--hey yo, the stars up
Hey this is the life of an outlaw
We aint promised tomorrow--I'm living now, dog
I'm walking through life. but yo my feet hurt
All my blessings are fed, man I'll rest when I'm dead
Look through my eyes and see the real world
Take a walk with me, have a talk with me
Where we end up--god only knows
Strap your boots on tight you might be alright
[Chorus]
On this lonely road, trying to make it home
Doing it by my lonesome pissed off who wants some
I'm fighting for my soul, God get at your boy
You try to bogart fall back I go hard
On this lonely road, trying to make it home
Doing it by my lonesome pissed off who wants some
I see them long hard times to come

I totally forgot about Oswalt's role in the series. He was pretty good. I'll definitely be taking a look at this, but I'm always a little leery of successful shows that keep milking it with prequels, sequels, and spin offs. I just hope it holds up as somewhere near as well as the original series.
