Carnvàle is one of HBO's best shows at the moment. The season just ended and the 2+ million viewers are ready for another season already. So HBO would go ahead and do that, right?

Wrong!

Or at least that's what the New York Sun thinks. And what're fans to do, since HBO won't confirm or deny rumors (even though Daniel Knauf, the show's creator/writer, says they won't know anything until June)

But wait! goo91 disagrees, because they have a friend in HBO postproduction that told them the show was renewed!!11

There is much bickering about Arliss being crap and running for seven seasons thanks to the fact that it's cheap to make! Don't you know Carnivàle is too exspensive to make???//

And then parena steps up and says... dun-da-dun.. "CARNIVALE has DEFINITELY NOT BEEN RENEWED FOR NEXT YEAR AND WILL NOT." - this according to her friend who is a Managing Director, and you shouldn't believe someone just randomly saying things because their friend said things. No no, parena is legit, the real deal, 100%. And refuses to reveal her friend's name. Riiiight.

MrHowelett makes me laugh the most - I cant wait until you 'Cancellation' people are all horribly wrong. if its cancelled & im wrong
i hope youre all happy that a priceless piece of visual history is gone

chibilute sums things up the best: people get really worked up about "cancelled" news, but seem to disregard news saying that it's staying.

Canceled, okayed, either way Carnivàle fans have two months before we'll really know and it seems like they intend on wanking the entire time.
