HBO’s period drama Boardwalk Empire is returning in less than a month, and if the latest trailer is any indication, fans will need at least that much time to ramp up to the proper excitement level.
There’s a lot of new content since Boardwalk Empire‘s first Season 2 trailer premiered, not to mention a more interesting structure. The new trailer takes advantage of the show’s 1920s style before pumping up the drama and action. While it’s true there isn’t a whole lot of actual information translated to the viewer, there’s enough to whet the appetite of those eager for more details.
First and foremost: the Klu Klux Klan will be a major factor in Boardwalk Empire‘s ongoing story. It’s not what you think, though - they’re not a new supplier of bootleg booze, but rather teetotalling Prohibitionists, destroying stills and cracking liquor supply chains flowing into the east coast. As if we needed another reason to hate the KKK.
Add to that the G-men catching wise, Jimmy branching out, political pressure, the loss of a major customer and the usual organized crime issues, and Nucky Thompson has his hands full.
