HBO Continues In Treatment

In Treatment's Gabriel Byrne by Claudette Barius/HBO
HBO has confirmed the renewal of their hit freshman show In Treatment starring Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest. Byrne, who played psychiatrist Dr. Paul Weston, will return as well as Wiest who plays his therapist, Dr. Gina Toll. The other "patients," who were each featured once a weekday, have yet to be confirmed.

Joining the shows producing team of Rodrigo Garcia, Hagai Levi, Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg will be Warren Leight (Law & Order: Criminal Intent), who will serve as executive producer.

The show, which totally had me at "treatment," will be shot in New York this fall — a debut date is scheduled for sometime in 2009.

In the meantime, I'm making it my personal mission to campaign for Mia Wasikowska to win a Best Supporting Actress Emmy. She was such an amazing find for this show, and will no doubt go on to mega-stardom.

Are you excited for another round of therapy with Paul and Co.? Which character(s) would you like to see return? — Erin Fox

Wahoo! I absolutely loved In Treatment. I was intrigued by the premise, a little put off of the format, at first, and completely enthralled at all 43 episodes.
I'm with you, Erin, about a Supporting Actress nod for Mia, she was amazing.

That's good news. I never thought I could sit and watch such a wordy show, but I never missed an episode.

I am right there with you regarding Ms. Wasikowska. The fact that no one watched this show is mindblowing. This show consistently had the best performances on television all year. Mia Waskikowska created the most real portrayal of a teenager on television this year and if she isn't nominated, which she won't be, the Emmy's will cement their status as "Most Insignificant Award Given".

I'm on the Mia Wasikowska bandwagon too! She is brilliant, and she and Gabriel Byrne had great chemistry together. I hope they bring back her character for the second season. I'm glad to hear that Dianne Wiest will be back as well. Obviously Blair Underwood won't be. I like Melissa George, but I thought the Paul/Laura "will they/won't they" storyline got old after a while. It would be interesting for Paul to give separate sessions to Jake and Amy. Embeth Davidtz is consistently great, and I thought this show was the best performance I've ever seen Josh Charles give. Another question is, will Paul and Kate still be together? I love, love, love Michelle Forbes.

I'm thrilled the show is returning. I too found the formate a little odd at first, but then came to love it. I especially love the Friday episodes when we get to hear what Paul really thought about his patients and to hear about his own personal struggles.

Is this a half-hour show or an hour?

AB-SO-LUTE-LY I'm excited! Thank God for intelligent, thought-provoking programming! Maybe now that Gabriel Byrne's superb performance as Dr. Paul Weston has been nominated for an Emmy, perhaps TV Guide will make some room among all the "Hot Bods" and professional celebrities for commentary on this groundbreaking program, Byrne, Wiest and the young Mia W.'s astounding talent.
