Just watched the finale, having marathoned most of it. Fucking amazing. One of the best shows I've watched in a long while. I can't wait for S2, which I'm guessing focuses on Proctor and the Native Americans. The violence just fits, and I was endlessly impressed by the dialogue as well as the character dynamic. Can't wait for S2.
Ruh-roh: Banshees resident Big Bad has a brother and he too has evil coursing through his veins.
Julian Sands (24, Smallville) has booked a multi-episode Season 2 arc on the Cinemax hit as Rabbits (Ben Cross) equally as dangerous younger brother who also happens to be a devout and amoral Ukrainian priest.
Sands is set to appear in three episodes.
Sands joins a Season 2 guest cast that also includes Damages Emmy winner Zeljko Ivanek as Jim Racine, a chain smoking, renegade FBI agent who has been tracking Rabbit for 15 years.
Banshee ended its freshman season last month as Cinemaxs most-watched original series.
now that all of the spartacus cast is free after this season i'd love to see manu and liam in more roles. though manu is showing up a lot lately in arrow now (and he does have a villain role in the hobbit so good for him)
After Russell Means' character Benjamin Longshadow passed away in the Cinemax series "Banshee," the Native American actor passed away in real life on Oct. 22, 2012. Now Zap2it can exclusively reveal that Means' son, Tatanka Means, will have a role in the series' upcoming second season.
"'Banshee' had the honor of being Russell Means' last project before he passed," showrunner Greg Yaitanes tells Zap2it in a statement. "Tatanka, his son, brings not only his talent but a legacy to our show. The Native American culture is a rich aspect of our series and knowing the Means family is part of that is extremely validating. We are excited to have Tatanka join this season as Hoyt Rivers."
Tatanka will appear
in approximately five episodes in the second season of "Banshee." His character, Hoyt Rivers, will be the Head of Security for Anthony Ruvivar's Alex Longshadow, who is the son of the elder Means' Benjamin on the Cinemax series. This is the first of several roles that will be cast for a "Banshee" storyline that includes the Native American community.
"I'm honored to join the 'Banshee' cast. It will feel comforting to work and be with others who had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside my Dad," Tatanka says. "I look forward to hearing stories of his time on set with everyone. He is my inspiration. He motivated me to become a stronger actor and I am anxious to contribute what I can to the story. 'Banshee' is exciting, I hope my character's involvement will add to another level of excitement."
"Banshee's" second season will premiere in 2014 on Cinemax.
just saw the finale, WOW. WOW. WOW
that was fucking amazing holy shit, i was at the edge of my seat and was cheering at my tv during the shoot out. this show is sick
Yes. It's trashy pulpy fun, but despite that it never becomes a joke and you care about the characters, even when they're doing ridiculous things. Plus it has the best action sequences on TV.
It's tons of fun - sort of like watching a graphic novel come to life on tv. Lots of sex & violence along with a heightened sense of reality. Give it a shot.
Strike Back has the best gun fights out there, but Banshee has better physical action (and it's not like the last episode's battle was something to sneeze at).
To me hand to hand combat is more impressive visually than gunfights. Plus Strike Back plays it straight, while Banshee can go really wild and create inscredible setpieces, like the one take chase of criminals who ended up at school, Hood running away through the city from Olek and Hood escaping the police after botched robbery.
Also.. I've been catching up on some shows recently and lol..both Nola Longshadow and depute Kelly are in CBS' Golden Boy
HOLY SHIT. I was ready to give up as it was starting to become a little boring but this episode did exactly what The Thing in the Pits did for Spartacus and showed the real potential there is in this series. I watched the fight at least a dozen times, such an awesome scene.
I can only hope it goes on to become as good as Sparty did.
Also, Cinemax is continuing to do a great job of regularly posting pictures and other content from on set while they're shooting S2. Check out the link if you want to take a look.
Has anyone been watching the reruns recently? I've caught a few here and there. The fight with the MMA guy is so brutal. I almost skipped watching it last night.

They've been on point with working the social media angle to promote the show (twitter, interviews, etc...), so I'd be surprised if they didn't put it up for the fans.
Damn, watched the final three episodes last night.
HOLY SHIT doesn't begin to cover just how awesome this show towards the end. The fight during episode 8 was bloody amazing, so brutal and yet so awesome. The finale was a little predictable, but set up season 2 very nicely.
Oh now how awesome to Odette getting some work. She looked crazy hot in the few episodes she was in. Goddamn. I hope she has a recurring role next season.
