Boardwalk empire season 5 premieres today on HBO! Nucky and the gang deals with the Depression Era, Season 5 set 7 years from the last season

The TV series Boardwalk Empire Season 5 will be dwelling on the Great Depression era, so there will be no fancy attires to look out for, as the cast will take a grip on the economic situation during those times. The Season is titled Golden Days for Boys and Girls.

HBO had released some descriptions on what will happen with the Boardwalk Empire Season 5 Episode 1:

"Season five opens in 1931 with Nucky in Cuba, where he presses a US senator on the likelihood of Prohibition's repeal and eyes a future business deal with a rum magnate. Meanwhile, Margaret witnesses a casualty of the Great Depression on Wall Street; Luciano makes a bold career move; Chalky catches a break to get out of a bad situation; and in a flashback to 1884, a young Nucky makes an impression on the Commodore.

"Working on Wall Street, Margaret finds herself in the hot seat when her boss, facing an internal investigation, decides his own future. Down but never out, Chalky seizes an opportunity to extricate himself from a difficult situation. In New York, Lucky Luciano sets in motion a bold plan that reverberates all the way to Nucky in Cuba."

The eight episodes will be a blend of continuation and change, all the while pressing in to what fans are anticipating - a satisfying conclusion. You may wonder why there are only eight episodes. According to showrunner Terence Winter, the decision was as a mutual one between producers and HBO, and that he believes eight hours 'is the right amount of time to tell the story'.

Also, time has skipped 7 years in advance from the previous season. The year will now be 1931 - The Great Depression era.

Tonight marks the Boardwalk empire season 5 air date. Catch it on HBO at 9PM.
