Peter Knegt from The Lost Boy Blog says: “I love that challenging and ambitious series like The Wire and Deadwood lasted as long as they did. And I love that the new crop of shows coming soon are following similar paths.”

HBO will begin airing a new series in January called In Treatment. The show, based on a hit Israeli series, stars Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects) as a psychotherapist. Each night’s show will focus on a different therapy patient, over a nine-week run: Melissa George (Alias) plays Laura on Mondays; Blair Underwood (Dirty Sexy Money) plays Alex on Tuesdays, newcomer Mia Wasikowska plays Sophie on Wednesdays, Embeth Davidtz (Fracture) and Josh Charles (Sports Night) play a married couple on Thursdays, and Byrne sees his own therapist played by Dianne Wiest (Bullets Over Broadway) on Fridays.

This show is produced by Entourage producers Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson (also known as my employers). HBO has committed to airing new episodes of In Treatment 5 nights a week. Which could be a great thing if the WGA Strike continues and there is no new programming available.
