HBO’s prohibition era gangster series, “Boardwalk Empire,” drew 7.5 million viewers this season and it doesn’t look like it’s going to lose any ground.

Over the weekend, Bobby Cannavale won an Emmy for best supporting actor in a drama series for his portrayal of last season’s threat to Steve Buscemi’s Enoch Thompson, Gyp Rosetti.

“Boardwalk Empire” was created by Terence Winter, who is also the executive producer along with Martin Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Tim Van Patten and Howard Korder.

Michael Lombardo, president of programming at HBO, said “Thanks to Terry Winter, Martin Scorsese, Tim Van Patten, Howard Korder and their stellar team, ‘“Boardwalk Empire”’ remains in a class by itself. I look forward to another electrifying season of this impeccably crafted series.”

“Boardwalk Empire” airs on HBO on Sunday nights.
