HBO has officially picked up the new drama "Treme" created by David Simon ("The Wire").
"Treme" is set in post-Katrina New Orleans and follows the rebuilding of the city through the eyes of local musicians.
Long time resident Eric Overmyer ("Homicide") is co-creating the series with Simon. Apparently this has been a project they've been discussing for years. However, don't think you're getting a "Wire" remake set in the Big Easy.
"This is not a 'Wire' redo with a New Orleans soundtrack," said Simon. "It's more of a character study looking at people trying to reconstruct their lives after their city has been destroyed and at a city that a living, breathing organism."
"Treme" joins HBO's other series pickups: "Hung," "Bored to Death," and "How To Make it In America."
