"Deadwood" was a western television series created, produced, and largely written by David Milch, that aired on the premium cable network HBO from March 21, 2004 to August 27, 2006, spanning 36 episodes and three seasons. The series, set in the 1870s in Deadwood, South Dakota, before and after the area's annexation by the Dakota Territory, charts Deadwood's growth from camp to town, incorporating themes ranging from the formation of communities to western capitalism.
The show featured a large ensemble cast, and many historical figures appear as characters, such as Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant), Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), George Hearst (Gerald McRaney), Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine), and Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert). Powers Boothe played a fictional character named "Cy Tolliver" in 34 episodes. The character was based on Tom Miller, the actual owner of The Bella Union saloon and theater in Deadwood. Boothe was originally cast as Al Swearengen. But Boothe fell ill before the pilot was to start filming, and he was replaced by Ian McShane. Then Boothe was given the supporting role of Cy Tolliver. Parisse Boothe, the daughter of Powers, played "Tess," a prostitute, in 5 episodes.
A CD of music, dialogue, and songs from the series appeared on Lost Highway/Universal Records in 2005.

"Nashville" is a musical drama television series created by Academy Award winner Callie Khouri that chronicles the lives of various fictitious country music singers in Nashville, Tennessee. The original cast was headed by Connie Britton as "Rayna Jaymes," a 40-year-old country music superstar singer whose stardom is beginning to fade, and Hayden Panettiere as "Juliette Barnes," a bubblegum country pop singer and former teen star sensation who is determined to replace Rayna as the top superstar of country music. Powers Boothe had a recurring role during the first two seasons as "Lamar Wyatt," Rayna's father and a wealthy, powerful and controlling patriarch and local politician who disapproves of his daughter's career as a country singer. Originally aired on ABC beginning in 2012, the show moved over to the CMT network in 2017.
In 2012, Powers Boothe was nominated for a Satellite Award as Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television. He lost to Neal McDonough for "Justified."

Powers Boothe reprised his role of "Senator Roark" in 2014's SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. As in the original, the film follows the exploits of various lowlifes living in Basin City. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays "Johnny," a gambler who takes on the city's biggest and most dangerous player, "Senator Roark". Josh Brolin is "Dwight," a character played by Clive Owen in the original. He tries to help his ex, "Ava" (Eva Green), escape from an abusive husband, only to discover that she's not as helpless as she appears. Mickey Rourke returns as "Marv," the disfigured brute, as does Jessica Alba as "Nancy" the stripper. He's a bit of a vigilante, taking it upon himself to get rid of the city's seediest residents, while she is haunted by memories of cop "John Hartigan" (Bruce Willis). Like Johnny, Nancy also wants Roark taken down. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller again shared the direction. Rodriguez and Carl Thiel scored the film. A soundtrack was released by Morada Music.
