One of the best television series of all-time, David Simon’s The Wire, will be remastered in high definition and re-aired on HBO Signature this fall, which is fantastic news for people who love quality television. Every episode of the show will be aired one at a time every weeknight at 8:00 PM (EST) starting next Monday, September 8th.
As someone who owns The Wire box set and has watched the entire series all the way through probably a handful of times, I’m still incredibly excited about the news because 1.) I can never get enough of The Wire, and 2.) it’ll be cool to see it remastered in HD for the first time.
I’m also curious if this means that HBO will be releasing the HD versions through HBO Go and/or Blu-Ray/DVD box sets, which have never been offered before. Seems like the next logical step.
Here’s the marathon’s teaser trailer, which was aired across HBO’s channels this past weekend. Get excited, people.
