HBO renews 'Treme' for Season 3
"Treme" will be back for a third season.
EW reports that HBO has given the green light for another outing of David Simon ("The Wire") and Eric Overmyer's critically adored drama about post-Katrina New Orleans.
The character drama, only three episodes into its sophomore season, is not one of the network's strongest showers in ratings. It's roughly 1 million average audience is dwarfed by its fast-rising Sunday time slot neighbor "Game of Thrones." The latter has seen a steady increase since the premiere, drawing around 2.4 million.
But at the end of the day, "Treme" is remains to be excellent television. And HBO does what it wants.

Awesome news that Treme will return. While its debut season was solid, Season 2 was even better. In particular, tighter - the stories more focused...
And no surprise Treme doesn't garner the ratings of some other HBO dramas. It's just about every day people struggling with every day problems, and there are no beheadings or mob hits...
Having been a huge fan of David Simon, at first I was not sure if Treme would grab me as I had hoped. But it did indeed within a few episodes of season 1. Had to order HBO because I could not wait for season 2 to come out on DVD. David Simon has done it again. Treme is a story everyone should see and be a part of.
I believe that the spirit of the real spirit of New Orleans is well depicted and am very anxious to see the third season...It is such a wonderful and colorful place to visit...with the food,music,cultures,art,history of the south is so interesting....But, there is something really special about most of the people....that is not found anywhere else in this United States....celebrations of life and the fact that everyone participating is equal for those activities....
Love the authenticity of this portrayal of New Orleans post Katrina. The music is authentic, all the characters are believable and sympathetic portrayals. This has the feel of people who know and love New Orleans. Looking forward to the 3rd season.
love it, I feel so bad for New
Orleans and all the people, I
was inquiring when the 3rd season
starts, what date??
