Well, part of it. They could do a time jump partway through the season. I would warrant that is what they will do, I can't imagine them skipping the 1929 Rothstein shenanigans.

It's too bad they cancelled the show because Terence Winter had a deal with HBO (when Scorsese was actively producing the thing) to run the show story wise until 1933 (when most stuff happened). As a fan or Winter's writing, I would have liked for Boardwalk Empire to run 2 or 3 more seasons with new characters as good as Jimmy, Van Alden, Capone or Harrow and kickass scenes (Harrow's Brothel Rampage and some other trackshots).

whoah thats a huge time jump, season 4 took place in 1924 apparently.
it also skips over the beginning of the Great Depression, which basically triggered off the massive stock selloff on Black Tuesday stock market crash, Oct 1929. Prohibition isn't lifted until 1933.
season 5 is only gonna be 8 episodes unfortunately, compared to 12 for previous seasons.

They thought this show was going to be the new HBO flagship, the next Sopranos. Game of Thrones pretty much completely stole its thunder and it hasn't even managed to be much of a critical success even.
Don't get me wrong, I love the show, but I can see why HBO isn't happy with it atm. However, after Sopranos, the HBO lineup seems pretty lacking other than Game of Thrones so it seems weird to cut it short. True Detectives was great, but they will have a new cast so who knows how that will turn out. The Leftovers is someone's sick joke.
