Carnivale is an American tv series produced by HBO and ran for two seasons from 2003 to 2005. The show, which is created by Daniel Knauf, depicts the battle between good and evil and the struggle between free will and destiny. Its two seasons take place during the Great Depression era between 1934 and 1935.

The tv show consists of two main plots. The first plot involves Ben Hawkins (Nick Stahl), a young man with strange healing powers who joins a traveling carnival when it passes near his home in Milfay, Oklahoma. Soon thereafter, he begins having surreal dreams and visions, which set him on the trail of a man named Henry Scudder, a drifter who crossed paths with the carnival many years before, and who apparently possessed unusual abilities similar to his own. The second plot revolves around Brother Justin Crowe (Clancy Brown), a Methodist preacher who lives with his sister Iris in California. He shares Ben's prophetic dreams and slowly discovers the extent of his own unearthly powers, which include bending human beings to his will and making their sins and greatest evils manifest in the form of terrifying visions. Certain that he is doing God's work, he fully devotes himself to his religious duties, not realizing that his ultimate nemesis Ben and the carnival are inexorably drawing closer.

Carnivàle's first episode set a new audience record for an HBO original series, but in its second season, the show was unable to retain its ratings. It was canceled after 24 episodes, cutting its intended six-season run short by four seasons. The series won five Emmys in 2004, was nominated for 10 further Emmy awards, and received numerous other nominations and industry awards between 2004 and 2006.
