Info about season 3 from the above link.
So can we expect to see Al Capone come into his own as a formidable force next season?
As time goes on. The plan is now is we would come back in season 3 a little further into the future and start to really track Al Capone’s rise and — God willing — through the course of the series. By 1925, Capone was the guy everybody recognizes — the guy in the white fedora who’s firmly in charge of Chicago. Hopefully we’ll be on the air long enough to see that guy. Certainly in [season 3] we’ll start to see Capone on pretty much equal footing as Johnny Torrio in terms of who’s running the town.
You mentioned jumping forward in time for season 3. How long will that be? [Note: Season 2 was set in 1921]
We’re thinking about 16 months and starting the [third] season around the beginning of 1923, then maybe run through the end of 1923. It was an exciting year. All the people who stockpiled liquor started to run out, so competition between bootleggers became really fierce.

I can’t imagine Nucky is going to be very pleased with Margaret donating all his land to the church.
I don’t think that will make anybody happy. The ramifications of that will be explored as the series progresses.
And I’m assuming Richard Harrow will continue as a key player?
Yes, Harrow will continue to be part of the show, absolutely.

so are all the characters & their story fact-based or just loosely based for dramatic purpose?
was there a real Jimmy and his partner with Face injury?
- looselysine
- Loosely on real events and people.CygnusZero4
- Jimmy and his buddy arent based on anyone. Nucky is, Capone, Lansky, Luciano, Rothstein, etc..CygnusZero4
- Jimmy is based on James Boyd. His story is elaborated like alot of the things in here.Ironmonkey
- was his mother from a long line of Sandusky's ??Ramanisky2

After the high bar set by the last few episodes, there was something a little off about the finale. Jimmy seemed too willing to go to his own death. Nucky suddenly turning into a cold hearted killer didn't really fit with the storyline.
Sort of makes you wonder if they killed him off because of difficulties on set (apparently Michael Pitt was fired by his production company recently).

Nah.

They had very specific and logical reasons for killing him. He was dead inside, between his betrayal of Nucky, the guilt of his wife being killed due to his recklessness, killing his own father, his mothers manipulation of him, and said many times he never really came back from the war.
- so funny with how they write as they go and they have to let actors know they are being killed off nowteh
