HBO orders a second season of In Treatment	Scandal (US)	Login to vote
HBO has officially greenlighted a sophomore season of drama "In Treatment." Series stars Gabriel Byrne as a psychotherapist Paul Weston, and revolves entirely around his sessions with patients and his own therapy appointments with shrink Gina Toll, played by Dianne Wiest. HBO had been widely expected to greenlight a second season of the show but it took some time for the paybox to cut a fresh pact with Byrne, whose initial deal only covered a single season, biz insiders said. "In Treatment," based on an Israeli TV skein of the same name, bowed on HBO early this year as an adventurous experiment in programming 43 segs as a half-hour drama strip Monday-Friday. It is expected that the skedding pattern will be tweaked for the second season, given that ratings for the Monday-Friday premiere telecasts were not too strong. HBO is expected to order around 35 episodes for season two. "In Treatment" is also due for a fresh influx of supporting cast members, as most of Weston's patients from season one will not be returning other than possibly for brief appearances in a handful of episodes. An HBO rep said deals with new and potential returning cast members were still being worked out. Production of "In Treatment" will move from L.A. to Gotham, where Byrne lives, when lensing begins again in the fall. Series has added an exec producer/showrunner in Warren Leight, a New York-based playwright who has spent the past few seasons as exec producer of NBC/USA Network's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." Also returning as exec producers are Rodrigo Garcia, who developed the U.S. adaptation; Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg, whose Leverage production shingle produces HBO's "Entourage"; and Hagai Levi, creator of the original Israeli series.
