NEW YORK (AP) - HBO says its new drama "Treme" (truh-MAY') has
been picked up for a second season just days after its series
premiere.
The show is set in New Orleans in fall 2005, three months after
Hurricane Katrina. "Treme" tracks the lives of a diverse group of
residents as they rebuild their lives and the neighborhood that
lends the show its name. Cast members include Wendell Pierce, Kim
Dickens, Melissa Leo and John Goodman.
The series was co-created by David Simon, whose past credits
include HBO's acclaimed "The Wire," "Generation Kill" and "The
Corner."
HBO announced Tuesday that production will resume in New Orleans
this fall.
"Treme" attracted 1.4 million viewers for its debut. It airs
at 10 p.m. Sunday.
