'In Treatment' Series Cancelled by HBO

HBO's Emmy and Peabody Award-winning half-hour drama series IN TREATMENT has ended its run after three seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Gabriel Byrne (Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama) starred as Dr. Paul Weston, joined by Dane DeHaan (Obie winner for "The Aliens"), Irrfan Khan ("Slumdog Millionaire"), Amy Ryan (HBO's "The Wire"; Oscar(R) nominee for "Gone Baby Gone") and Debra Winger (Oscar(R) nominee for "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Shadowlands" and "Terms of Endearment").

In the third season of IN TREATMENT, Dr. Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne) continued his therapy practice out of the living room of his Brooklyn brownstone. Among his patients are: Frances (Debra Winger) an aging stage and screen star who has been "blanking out" during rehearsals for a major Broadway role; Sunil (Irrfan Khan), a recent widower and new immigrant from Calcutta, now living with his son's family in Brooklyn and struggling with life in America; and Jesse (Dane DeHaan), a gay, adopted 16-year-old who was recently contacted by his birth mother. Each Friday, Paul visits Adele (Amy Ryan), his new therapist.

Executive producers Anya Epstein (HBO's "Tell Me You Love Me") and Dan Futterman (Oscar(R)-nominee for "Capote") conceived entirely original and uniquely American storylines for the third season, a first for the series. The previous two seasons of IN TREATMENT were adapted from the scripts for the Israeli version of the show that inspired the HBO series.
