The Big Picture HBO's Deadwood is one of the streamer's most critically acclaimed series ever. The blood-soaked, expletive-laden show starring Timothy Olyphant gave the audience some of the best Western heroes and villains to grace the small screen, and yet, despite the accolades, the show was unceremoniously canceled.
HBO is a division of Time-Warner Media that partnered with Paramount to obtain funding in exchange for international distribution rights for Deadwood. The series was a hit and even won a Golden Globe Award. But as time passed and the third season went into production, the investors wanted to renegotiate new terms. Unfortunately for everybody involved, fans included, Paramount and HBO could not agree and disputed the contract terms.
