The Knick Spoilers: Season 3 Comissioned For Another Script After Season 2 Finale

Will "The Knick" continue after Season 2? Well, it seems negotiations are currently underway.

According to Variety, Cinemax has ordered the script and official story outline for the premiere of the next season. If the project will push through, "The Knick" will also welcome the return of creators and executive producers Michael Begler and Jack Amiel.

"The Knick" is directed by Steven Soderbergh ("Erin Brockovich," "Side Effects") and starred Clive Owen ("Closer"). It follows Owen's character as Dr. John Thackery who works in the Knickerbocker hospital. Thackery and his team of surgeons are on the mission to achieve medical breakthrough during the 20th century.

The series' first aired in 2014 and second season ended last Friday, Dec. 18, 2015. The outlet reported that the series was only intended to run for two seasons but the studio is interested in exploring "The Knick" universe further. However, there's a little problem regarding Owen's role.

"The Knick" Season 2 ended with Episode 10 "This Is All We Are." It was directed by Soderbergh and written by Amiel & Begler.

In another article from Variety, Owen shared that his contract was also intended for only two years.

The actor was asked about the things he would miss if ever his character will meet his demise. He noted that he would miss "being in such goods hands" with Soderbergh.

"The second thing for me is playing such a brilliantly drawn character. It was original, it was visceral, it was unpredictable. It was crammed full of life and as an actor, that’s a joy to get your teeth into," Soderbergh said.

The outlet also confirmed that this will not be the end of Soderbergh's partnership with HBO and its production company. The "Magic Mike" director is working on a “choose your own adventure" project entitled "Mosaic" with Sharon Stone and Garrett Hedlund. According to the description, the "mysterious" venture will give the viewers the chance of "seeing the story play out in different ways."

Aside from "Mosaic" and "The Knick," Soderbergh is also working on the adaptation of “The Girlfriend Experience” on Starz.
