MediaVillage has heard that HBO is seriously considering developing a two hour movie or a four-hour miniseries that would tie up the tantalizing loose ends from the final episode of its supernatural dust-bowl drama "Carnivale".

The series ended its second season in an abrupt manner that infuriated its loyal viewers, leaving them to wonder if Ben the healer could survive his violent confrontation with the evil Brother Justin, and if the newly possessed Sofie would succeed in bringing Justin back to life.

The new production would be telecast sometime in 2007. Further, if that movie or mini does well, there's talk the pay cable giant might even consider resurrecting the franchise as an ongoing series in 2008.
