During this afternoon’s HBO executive session at TCA, Michael Lombardo (HBO’s president, programming group and west coast operations) gave television critics a peek into the network’s possible future. Lombardo revealed that today the network had greenlit three additional pilots:
David Simon and Eric Overmeyer have written a script called "Treme," dealing with post-Katrina New Orleans. The shooting date was not announced.
The network has also greenlit a half-hour comedy pilot called The Washingtonian, based on a Jessica Cutler book. Sarah Jessica Parker is executive-producing.
Terry Winter, a Sopranos executive producer, has written a one-hour drama about
1920s Atlantic City. Winter is executive-producing with Martin Scorsese. Shooting begins in
January.
