** According to Daniel Knauf, Netflix was interested in bringing the show back in the early 2010s on their streaming service. This was due to the fact that their strategy to build interest in their original programming was to create continuation of series that had fandoms which grew after their cancellation (which would seem to predict that the audience would continue to grow season after season.) Netflix's research apparently found that Carnivale had more fans than when the show was new, so they approached HBO about reviving it. HBO owned all rights to the shows and refused to allow a continuation to happen elsewhere. (Something similar had happened a decade previously when Knauf got a deal from Marvel Comics to let him finish the show as an ongoing comics series, but HBO refused to let him have the comic rights.)

* ExecutiveMeddling: Lots. As Clancy Brown has put it, HBO was "uncomfortable with ambiguity," and so altered story-lines and characters to fit their needs. Brother Justin becoming all but pure evil in the second season in contrast to being conflicted in the first was because of this. Scenes where Justin was depicted as being more sympathetic were vetoed by the producers. HBO meddled quite a bit with Justin and Iris' relationship. They pushed for Justin to rape her at the end of the first season (which the writers did not want to do, hence the ambiguity of that scene), and then demanded that the show drop their relationship entirely in the second season.

** Knauf was also forced to kill Professor Lodz at the end of the first season, because "someone has to die in a finale". Originally Lodz was supposed to be in the series until the very end (and may have even survived it, like Sampson). HBO also unintentionally screwed up Knauf's attempts to write him back into the show in the second season (see below).

** Season 4 would have ended with Ben eventually re-assembling all of the favorite carnival members together to fight the growing threat that was Brother Justin. The fifth season would have then dealt with Ben trying to prevent the creation of atomic weapons, learning why Sofie is called the Omega, having a child with her and having to sacrifice the child in the blast.
