HBO Steps Back on 'The Wire'
Wed, Mar 5, 2003 07:04 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The second season of HBO's intricate cop series "The Wire" is shifting locations.
As with its first season, the show will shoot in Baltimore, but it will focus on the city's waterfront. The new plot arc will focus on "the steady decline of the working class in American cities," HBO says.
The first season dealt with a police investigation -- with its bureaucratic frustrations, tedium and occasional breakthroughs -- of drug dealers at a public-housing complex. Equal time in the show was given to the dealers and their organization.
In the new season, scheduled to premiere in June, the cops will investigate union activity on the docks.
Series regulars Dominic West, Sonja Sohn, Wendell Pierce, Wood Harris, Larry Gilliard Jr., Lance Reddick and Frankie Faison will return. The change in locale also means the addition of several new regulars, including Chris Bauer ("Third Watch"), Amy Ryan ("You Can Count on Me" ), James Ransone and Pablo Schreiber.
