HBO’s popular television show Treme: The Complete Third Season picks up two years after Hurricane Katrina has ravaged New Orleans, a time when crime and corruption are on the rise, and outsiders with their own agendas are starting to pour money into the city.
For the people of New Orleans, even the promises of redevelopment come with strings attached, and every dollar that shows up – whether from government disaster relief, or from venture capital, or even from those seeking to remake New Orleans in the wake of Katrina – carries with it new dynamics and new risks. National interest has waned, moving on to the next headline, but those who know and love the Crescent City have no choice. They must find their way back to what matters in the life of their city. However, little of what they can bring to bear yields a quick result, and nothing about New Orleans – its government, its police department and courtroom, its school system – works as it should. Nothing is easy.
Co-created and produced by David Simon, the Emmy-winning creator of the HBO series The Wire and Eric Overmyer (Homicide: Life on the Street), the TV drama series stars Featured in the ensemble cast are Wendell Pierce (The Wire), Khandi Alexander (TV’s CSI: Miami), Clarke Peters (The Wire), Rob Brown (Stop-Loss), Steve Zahn (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Kim Dickens (TV’s Deadwood), Melissa Leo (Welcome to the Rileys), Melissa Leo (Welcome to the Rileys), Michiel Huisman (The Young Victoria), David Morse (The Odd Life of Timothy Green) and classical violinist Lucia Micarelli.
The series also features cameos by notable real-life New Orleanians, as well as the talents of many musicians and other artists associated with the city’s music, including The Neville Brothers, Fats Domino, Tab Benoit, Dr. Michael White, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Sonny Landreth, The Red Stick Ramblers, Monk Boudreaux, James “Sugarboy” Crawford and Davell Crawford, Kermit Ruffins, John Boutte, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Anders Osborne, Tom McDermott, Marcia Ball, Meschiya Lake, Ivan Neville, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, Glen David Andrews, Donald Harrison, Jr. and The Valparaiso Men’s Chorus, among others.
