About Treme

Treme is an HBO drama from The Wire creator David Simon and Eric Overmyer that aired from 2010 to 2013, chronicling the residents of New Orleans's Tremé neighborhood as they rebuild their lives, their community, and their culture in the years after Hurricane Katrina. Named for one of America's oldest Black neighborhoods, it places music — jazz, brass bands, Mardi Gras Indians — at the very center of its story of survival.

Unhurried and richly textured, Treme is less about plot than about place: the food, the rituals, the gigs, and the daily fight against bureaucratic indifference and slow recovery. Like Simon's other work, it's a deeply reported portrait of an American city, its institutions, and the people determined to keep it alive.

Featuring real musicians alongside a superb ensemble, Treme is a soulful, immersive ode to New Orleans.
