The announcement comes on the heels of Thursday's Emmy Awards nominations, in which the Steve Buscemi-led series received seven nominations, including Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. Last year, Bobby Cannavale walked away with the Supporting Actor in a Drama win.
While the first four seasons of the show took place in the roaring 20s, the final season of the critically loved program will be set in the depths of the 1931 Depression.
