EPs Dave Andron & Michael Dinner also talk about what another season could look like, and what it would take to make that happen.
The Big Picture [Editor's note: The following contains major spoilers for Justified: City Primeval. Do not read this interview prior to watching the season finale.]In the FX series Justified: City Primeval, set 15 years after U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens left Kentucky behind, dealing with his often uncooperative 15-year-old daughter has added to the challenge of stopping violent sociopath Clement Mansell .
I’m one of those people who thought the original series ended perfectly, and as much as I wanted to see the return of this show and the character of Raylan Givens, I was also very nervous about it.
Well, maybe the guy we put away, Boyd Crowder, wasn’t gonna just sit quiet in the corner of prison for the rest of his life. It just all felt really organic. It felt like a way that we could really serve these characters, and specifically serve Walton. When you think of Justified, you think of Raylan, but of course, you also think of Boyd. It just felt like a nice, organic way to bring him in, to really shine a light on what Raylan is gonna go through, having hung it up.
It also feels like taking Raylan to a point where he makes the decision that he’s going to retire and not do this anymore, that it would take Boyd Crowder to reel him back in. ANDRON: Yeah, probably. I don’t think we ever discussed anything else. When this idea came, it felt fully formed, and we just figured it out.
I’m curious about the portion of the ending involving Clement Mansell. Was he always going to end up dead? Did you discuss or consider different possibilities? Did you ever think about keeping him around? I really loved Timothy Olyphant and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor together. There was something so interesting about that dynamic and about watching that relationship take shape, over the season. What did you just most enjoy about watching them together and seeing what they brought to that?
