Good news for fans of Steve Zahn’s butt: David Simon’s new show, Treme, only debuted on Sunday, but HBO has already ordered a second season. “We would have picked up this show last week,” said HBO president Michael Lombardo. “We’ve seen the first nine episodes; it’s as strong as any show we’ve seen. Much like The Wire, the audience is so passionate and so invested. We’re about servicing our subscriber base and I believe that people will become addicted to this show. We have to be a place where this kind of excellence is giving space to continue.” [HR]
