Miniseries debuts April 25 on HBO and HBO Max
It's a perfect marriage of subject matter and producer. For his latest HBO miniseries, David Simon returns to the streets of Baltimore, the location for several of his previous series including The Wire and The Corner. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green (King Richard) and co-created by novelist George Pelecanos (a frequent Simon collaborator who also wrote for The Wire), and adapted from the nonfiction book by Baltimore Sun journalist Justin Fenton, the six-episode We Own This City chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force, a rogue and corrupt division that was eventually the target of a federal investigation. Jon Bernthal heads a cast that also includes Wunmi Mosaku, Josh Charles, McKinley Belcher III, Dagmara Domińczyk, Treat Williams, and some familiar faces for Wire fans including Jamie Hector, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Domenick Lombardozzi, and Anwan Glover.
