After a stellar sophomore season, Justified is back for another season of Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens dispensing justice in Harlan County, Kentucky. Based on characters created by Elmore Leonard, the third season premieres Tuesday, January 17th at 10pm on FX. Aside from everyone that died last season, the entire cast will be back including Emmy Nominee Walton Goggins. So here's to another season of laconic lawmen, tense shootouts, and sultry Southern ladies.

Developed by Graham Yost and starring Timothy Olyphant, Justified is based on the works of crime novelist Elmore Leonard, including Leonard’s short story Fire in the Hole.

In Season 2, “Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens” (Olyphant) squared off against criminal matriarch “Mags Bennett” (the part for which Margo Martindale won an Emmy®Award). The end of Season 2 brought about the end of the Bennett family’s hold over Harlan County and the return of Raylan’s old nemesis/friend “Boyd Crowder” to the criminal life. This season

, Boyd and his crew will find they aren’t the only ones making a play to rule the Harlan underworld. Now Raylan finds himself facing off against dirty politicians, hidden fortunes, a mysterious man named “Limehouse” and an enterprising and lethal criminal from the Motor City.

The series co-stars Nick Searcy as Givens longtime friend and boss “Chief Deputy Art Mullen”; Jacob Pitts as “Deputy Marshal Tim Gutterson”; Erica Tazel as “Deputy Marshal Rachel Brooks”; Joelle Carter as “Ava Crowder”; and Natalie Zea as Raylan’s ex-wife “Winona Hawkins.” Walton Goggins also stars as “Boyd Crowder.” Yost wrote the pilot and serves as Executive Producer/Writer on the series. Leonard is also an Executive Producer on the series along with Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman and Fred Golan. Justified is produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions.

Cast:
Timothy Olyphant as Raylen Givens
Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder

[Diseased Yak]

Fuck yes! One of the best shows on TV returns. Can't wait!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

RAYLAN!

 

[TheClimaxan]

my body is ready. Season 2 was so damn good.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

So, I look at casting, and

Spoiler

Ava died right? I honestly can't remember

 

[BFIB]

Awesome! Getting my Season 2 Blu Ray copy today, time to re-watch the goodness of season 2, and amp up the excitement from Season 3!

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Neal McDonough?

The fact that he was cast as M. Bison has kind of ruined him for me.

If you want the spoilerish answer to that question:

Spoiler

Ava is back for S3. I just didn't include her in the OP since it was unclear from the finale whether or not she lives or dies.

Can't wait. This show is too good to miss.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Now post more pics of Natalie Zea! I mean, I love that first pic of Rylan doing a Whistler's Mother and all, but still!

DUNCHEW HURT MAH BROTHER RAYLAN!!!

This thread needs:
The GIF Of Dickie dancing
A GIF of Coover waving off Raylan and Rachel after dropping his gun out front their house.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Also, a Gutterson'd.

 

[Cornballer]

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

SO GOOD!!

Was there also one with the Dickie Slow Style Pop And Lock? All hand and wrist?

 

[Cornballer]

 

[ConradCervantes]

lol at Gutterson'd.

Finally some decent cable television. Felt like nothing worthwhile has aired since Breaking Bad.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

King Cornballer.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Hell yes!

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Next week already? I can't wait for this big ol' whoop-dee-doo!

DUNCHEW HURT MAH BROTHER RAYLAN!!!

Man, that scene. <3

 

[Wiktor]

Can't wait. Loved previous seasons. I just hope Rayal gets a little more trigger happy than he was in S2.

Also...the novel get released the same day as season 3 starts:

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

We've been watching S1 and 2 in the ol' Homestead and there's just so many great little throwaway lines.

"You understand, of course? Cause of the life you led?"

 

[Pollux]

An episode with a focus on Gutterson is a good episode indeed.

 

[ivysaur12]

So excited. And Neal McDonough is the sexiest bro ever... behind Timothy Olyphant. This'll be glorious.

 

[Solo]

Favorite show on TV returns! Woot!

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Great OP. I'm super pumped!

Wait a second...

WHERE'S AVA?! Oh god she didn't die, did she? Nooooo

 

[Meier]

Absolutely can't wait for this. I remembered I forgot to include Justified in my Best of 2011 TV list which was a travesty since it was absolutely amazing. Early season shows are easy to overlook.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Great OP. I'm super pumped!

Wait a second...

WHERE'S AVA?! Oh god she didn't die, did she? Nooooo

I don't want to live in a world without that boss-ass vest she rocks at the end of S1.

"Where's your boyfriend?"
"Which one?"

 

[Cornballer]

An episode with a focus on Gutterson is a good episode indeed.

Yup.

I can't carry a tune, I don't know how to shoot a basketball, and my handwriting is barely legible, but I don't miss.


PS:

 

[shortyme]

Awww shit yes. I am excite!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I actually really love the little bits of backstory we've gotten on him, Afghanistan vet, etc.

 

[ivysaur12]

Cornballer, do you have all of those large cast photos? They look real good.

More Tim and Rachel, please.

 

[Cornballer]

There's a gallery of them on FX's webpage for the show. I think I've posted most of them at this point. It's too bad they have funky borders on them as I'd prefer the clean shots.

Anyway, here's some Tim and Rachel for you:

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

"Ma'am."

 

[Brian Fellows]

Hope we get a little more Tim and Rachel this season.

 

[ivysaur12]

I actually really love the little bits of backstory we've gotten on him, Afghanistan vet, etc.

I'd like to know more. Him and Rachel really need more time in the sun - both are very strong and have shown promise the few times we've seen them.

BEST. VEST.

 

[Emerson]

Absolutely love this show. Can't wait. Probably my favorite show currently on TV.

Can't wait. Loved previous seasons. I just hope Rayal gets a little more trigger happy than he was in S2.

Kind of agree. I don't need it to be like the beginning of Season 1 but I think Raylan needs to shoot more people than he did in Season 2. Especially with Quinn from Dexter doing an episode or two this season. I need to see him die.

I don't know. I think doing that would discount a lot of his arc with Art. I'd be really sad to this show turn into a Gunfightin' Spectacle after it took so many pains in S2 to show Raylan's attempts at avoiding it and Art's incredible summation of where it's taking him.

"...and pretty soon our little problem will just solve itself."

Fucking brutal.

To turn away from something like that would basically kill the show I love. I really hope yours is not a prevailing opinion the Showrunners are listening to. I guess we'll see.

 

[Washed_Out]

Did a shit job of watching last season as it was ending. Going to watch this weekly now.

I totally understand and actually agree with your points, but somehow I still miss the one-off "villain of the week" stories that ended with Raylan shooting someone.

 

[Cornballer]

Definitely. Rachel, in particular, hasn't been developed so far.


You know who else I want more of in S3?

Yeah, I hear you. Hope I didn't sound like a dick.
