Boardwalk Empire has been given a fifth season.
The show was renewed by HBO after a successful fourth run, with the period drama having averaged 7.5 million viewers.
HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said: "Thanks to Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese, Tim Van Patten, Howard Korder and their stellar team, Boardwalk Empire remains in a class by itself.
"I look forward to another electrifying season of this impeccably crafted series."
The show is created by Terence Winter, who is also an executive producer alongside Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Van Patten and Korder.
Bobby Cannavale recently won an Emmy for 'Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series' for his role on Boardwalk Empire.
