A new turn planned for Season Four

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Created by David Simon, THE WIRE wrapped its third season last December. The first season looked at the national drug war through the microcosm of a West Baltimore housing project, and the second season focused on a longshoremen's union and its struggle to survive. In its third season, the drama developed its portrait of a fictional Baltimore by exploring the place of the political leadership in addressing a city's problems.

With the Barksdale investigation concluded, the fourth season of THE WIRE will expand its focus to include a look at the role of the educational system in an urban environment.

03.18.05 | baltimoresun.com: Show gets in under 'The Wire'

After three months in limbo, HBO's urban drama The Wire was renewed yesterday for a fourth season — one that promises a hard-hitting look inside Baltimore's troubled school system.

"This is basically going to be the beginning of a new arc," executive producer David Simon said yesterday. "The thing that we tried to convince HBO was that there was more to be said about the American city. It's gratifying to have the opportunity to continue to explore this urban universe that we created."

Simon's awfully cool. I've actually spoken with him. Love his angle.

That's great that you got to speak with him.

I wasn't sure what to make of the series at first.
Then I caught on to the fact that they were making some larger than surface messages.
