About The Show
From David Simon (The Wire, Generation Kill) and Eric Overmyer (Law & Order, New Amsterdam), this new one-hour drama series takes place during the rebuilding of post-Katrina New Orleans, and focuses on how a group of residents rebuild their lives through the enduring music and cultural traditions that make them, and the city, so unique. The title of the series (pronounced “Truh-may”) refers to one of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhoods, an important center of African-American and Creole culture, especially music. Season 1 of Treme begins three months after Katrina, and culminates around the Carnival season. In addition to capturing the flavor and rich heritage of New Orleans, the series highlights the role of the city in the interconnected personal stories of the musicians, teachers, restaurateurs, radio deejays, and community leaders we meet.
