Warning: Major spoilers for Justified City: Primeval season 1.

Summary

City Primeval concluded its inaugural season on a high note, stunning viewers by reintroducing a beloved character and laying the groundwork for a potential sequel. Although the final decision rests with FX, Executive Producer Michael Dinner expressed contentment with the current conclusion crafted by the creative team.

Walton Goggins initially expressed his reluctance to return, but there is potential for his character Boyd Crowder to appear more in the second season after his unexpected cameo in the season 1 finale.

The executive producer of Justified: City Primeval has provided a mixed update on the possibility of a season 2. The revival, consisting of eight episodes, premiered on FX on July 18, continuing the story a decade after the original Justified concluded. Raylan Givens (played by Timothy Olyphant) has relocated from his hometown to Miami, juggling his responsibilities as a U.S. Marshal and a parent to his 15-year-old daughter (portrayed by Olyphant's real-life daughter, Vivian). Givens travels to Detroit, where he encounters a dangerous outlaw known as The Oklahoma Wildman (played by Boyd Holbrook). The revival concluded with a significant twist that could set the stage for a second season.

Executive producer and co-showrunner Michael Dinner discussed the potential for a second season of Justified: City Primeval in comments to TVLine. Dinner acknowledged that the decision ultimately lies with FX and whether they choose to pursue another installment. However, he also expressed contentment with the conclusion of the series, stating that the creative team feels satisfied with how it ended. Here is the quote:

"It's ultimately up to FX to decide if they want to continue the story with another chapter. If they don't, we are still proud of what we achieved and are satisfied with the conclusion we reached."

Justified: City Primeval Season 1 Closes In A Big Way

The revival concludes with a surprising twist. Despite Walton Goggins stating that he would not return as Boyd Crowder, the beloved character makes a unexpected appearance in the final moments. Boyd successfully orchestrates a daring prison escape and possibly convinces Givens, who had recently retired, to come back into action. It is revealed that Boyd had been en route to the hospital with the help of a corrupt guard conspiring in his escape.

As Boyd speeds away in his getaway car, Givens receives an alert on his phone, interrupting his plans to spend quality time with his daughter. The potential for a second installment of the Justified revival could delve deeper into this tension, showcasing Givens' inability to fully distance himself from his work. Additionally, fans who long missed Goggins' portrayal would likely be treated to more of his presence in the show.

Justified: City Primeval had the highest viewership across all platforms during its debut week, according to Reelgood and JustWatch. This suggests a potential possibility for the series to come back.
