Will There Be a ‘Justified: City Primeval’ Season 2? Walton Goggins Shares Update
Exclusive
It’s been a year since Justified made a TV comeback with the revival Justified: City Primeval, and despite praise from fans and critics, there has been no news about another return for Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).
As fans will recall, Boyd resurfaced in the finale episode of the 2023 revival, which hinted at a possible reunion between Raylan and him, but will we ever see it happen? Goggins certainly would like to as the actor opened up with TV Insider on the red carpet at Gotham’s inaugural TV Awards. “Oh yeah, everyone wants to do another lap of Justified,” Goggins said.
But wanting to do more is easier said than done as he added, “It’s just a matter of timing and whether or not FX wants to pick it up.” Still, Goggins isn’t losing hope as he revealed, “I know that in their hearts they want to. So we’ll see.”

For those less familiar with Justified, the original series created for television by Graham Yost ran for six seasons on FX from 2010 to 2015 and followed Raylan Givens, a U.S. Marshal plucked from the pages of Elmore Leonard’s novels. Enforcing his own brand of justice, Raylan is described as a strong-willed lawman who is haunted by his past and returns to his hometown to see justice served.
In City Primeval, the story picks up with Raylan having left Kentucky 15 years earlier, as he now lives in Miami. As he balances his life as a U.S. Marshall and a part-time dad to 15-year-old Willa (Vivian Olyphant), Raylan finds himself in Detroit after a chance encounter. While there, he crosses paths with plenty of colorful characters.
As mentioned, above, Boyd, who had been in prison, managed to make an escape during a prison transport paving the way for a possible pursuit by Raylan. In other words, the building blocks for a continuation are there. Would you like to see more of Justified? Let us know in the comments section, below.

They'd be crazy not to bring it back. Great show, well written stories and characters. The actors were all so good too.

Would love to see more Justified with Goggins & Raylan. Find out what shenanigans they could get up to again! It’s a great show. Wish FX would put it back on or someone else pick it up! Too good to lose!

Would love it! Raylan and Boyd teamed up to make one of the best shows on TV. And Art as the sheriff was superb!

Love Justified and the sequel. As soon as I saw that Boyd escaped from prison in the City Primeval Season I finale, I was all set for a second season. The two of them together are like oil and water. It’s a love/hate relationship where you just can’t wait to see what’s next.

Raylan and Boyd are one of the classic anti buddy couple EVER!! I would watch Justified everyday from now until Raylan finally decides to hang up his Stetson and retire... AND I would go to the retirement party if I could just finagle an invitation!! The dynamic of that duo can go on and on

Boyd and Raylan is what made the original show so great. Not bringing them back together would be an opportunity missed for sure. Here's to hoping we get to see them again!

Justified city primeval was great. It really needs to be continued. There's so much junk on now, we need this to return.It is an excellent show.

I'd 1,000% love to see Justified: City Primeval return for at least another session. I loved the original Justified show & I really like the new show too. FX - please renew this. I believe it's one of the only series I watch that airs/aired new episodes on Hulu, not shows that previously aired on other cable TV networks beforehand.

I WOULD love to see These Two finish the game.And with Boyd on the loose no matter where he goes there's bound to be a Trail of wreckage behind.I am kinda Suprized The powers that be havnt climbed all over this Idea.These Actors have an unwaivoring chemistry and they can probably make this one better than the first Justified which is a very high bar .But with these Actors and writers I believe it could be done.

Loved justified! (the original series). I just finished watching City Primeval and would love to see the roles of Boyd Crowder and Raylan Givens revived. My favorite part of City Primeval was the last 15 minutes. I think Boyd Crowder is my favorite "bad guy"!
-
O
Would LOVE to see another season (or more)
-
O
Of course I think they need to bring another miniseries or season back. It’s an excellent series and full of surprises!!!😉
-
B
The demand is there! Do it!
-
O
Love to see it return
-
P
Yes!! Would love to see this show come back.
-
G
I would Love to see Justified have more seasons to continue the story!!!!!
-
G
It would be great to see another season built around Raylan and Boyd
-
C
I would like to see another Justified more like the original, while City Primeval was ok, I'd like to see Justified more in the type of setting as the original, with Boyd maybe back in the drug business or causing trouble of some kind for Raylan, so the cat and mouse game continues.
-
C
Love it would love to see more please.
-
G
Tim O, put your wallet away for a small part in major motion pictures and become Raylon once again? I mean Walter G claims to be busy selling goggles? He's has to be struggling and needs another season! Not to mention that your ex-wife lost all her series?
-
B
I love Justified and all the cast. Please bring it on. You know it will do well. Lots of dumb stuff on. Please make more fantastic Justfied Timothy
-
C
Yes season 2 please! But season 1 only worked because Givens had new challenges to overcome and a different antagonist. Bringing back Coggins doesn't present something new, and interest in the show will wane!!!
-
G
I definitely want to see a season 2 of Justified City primeval with Elephant and Goggins, hurry up and bring it back FX! That should be Olyphant!
-
O
Not bringing it back would be fundamentally moronic!!! Although these are the same TV people who canceled and limitless the series because it promotes drug use… you give an entire generation Adderall, and your surprise when they’re hero pops a pill to be smart

With Jacob Lofland's breakout in Landman, a big plus for Justified City Primeval would be to bring Lofland back as Kendal Crowe all grown up. But as a crook or a good guy? A hot young Congressman? Kendal was smarter than all the other Crowes put together and Lofland is a fantastic actor! Adding 'Cooper' to the mix makes Season 2 a go!
-
G
100% BRING IT BACK
-
B
I would like to see the show continued. 👍🏼

Would love to see Raylin and Boyd ride again!

C
I would love to see more Justified. Love the show!
-
G
How cool would it be to have another installment of Justified!! Keep my fingers crossed!
-
B
NO , it's the perfect time to end it , he's a great dude let him Not screw over his family anymore , yes he's like Capt'n Kirk where his Ship IS his life . Boyd's headn to Mexico he'll be happy there , so NO let Raylan be with his Daughter.
-
O
You can't just leave Justifed hanging like that - I know a lot of LEOs here in Australia love the two shows - but come on people - you have to finish telling the story.
-
P
Would love to see them back together but also back in the hollers of Kentucky
-
O
*Hell yeah( damn auto correct)
-
O
He'll yeah!!!!
-

Love Justified,both of them.Liked the first one best.They raised hell.Hope they do it again.
-
C
Yes we NEED to see Raylan and Boyd together again. Let’s don’t forget Ava is out there with Boyd’s son. He’s just a little younger than Raylans daughter. Boyd thinks Ava’s dead but… he could find out she’s not.
-
R
I can't recall the 1st series but caught this continuation. Would be great for it to continue. In the meantime, going to watch the 1st 6!
-

Oh hell YES, you don't have to tell me twice about it, you left my mother, my boyfriend and I hanging from the first season and I think that I can speak for all the Justified fans around the world 🌎, everyone who would love to see a second season and we would all know that for a fact, so FX needs to figure out what they are doing and get there heads out of butts and get a move on before the Raylan and Boyd's fans start to lose interest.
-
R
This show has to come back. It's the BEST thing going. I've been waiting and nothing. C'MON SEASON 2!LET'S GOOOOOO!

LOVED!!! the original series - tried the first couple episodes of Primeval and didn't care for it. However, a reprisal storyline with Raylan and Boyd would be great.
