“I can’t think of another show that is more emblematic of what we aspire to be as a network than TREME…We are thrilled that the press has recognized the profound artistry and intelligence of this show and are eager to see where David and Eric take us in a second season.” Looka! I haven’t yet boarded the Treme train which left the station this past Sunday — no Home Box Office ’round these parts just yet. Nonetheless, HBO has already ordered up a second season, and I can’t wait to catch up.

David Simon’s Treme, his long-awaited follow-up to The Wire about musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans (and starring Wendell “Bunk” Pierce, Clarke “Freamon” Peters, Steve Zahn, Khandi Alexander of The Corner, Kim Dickens of Deadwood, and Melissa Leo of Homicide), gets a Home Box Office teaser and a start date: Sunday, April 11. Sounds like it’s almost time for the (HBO) re-up.
Update: Speaking of which, it’s almost time to cook: Also coming up on the television schedule this spring, Season 3 of Breaking Bad begins March 21 on AMC. Until then, stay out of Walt’s territory.
