Season chronology

The third season aired on Sundays at 9:00 pm ET in the United States to widespread critical acclaim. The season was released on DVD as a five disc boxed set under the title of The Wire: The Complete Third Season on August 8, 2006 by HBO Video.

Production

Following the death of Robert F. Colesberry, director Joe Chappelle joined the production staff as a co-executive producer and continued to regularly direct episodes.[1] Baltimore Sun writer and political journalist William F. Zorzi joined the writing staff in the third season and brought a wealth of experience to the show's examination of Baltimore politics.[2]

David Simon had originally hoped to create a city hall spinoff show, which would run in tandem with subsequent seasons of The Wire, and had even written scripts for it. But HBO declined, according to Simon: "HBO said, 'No, we only want one show that nobody is watching in Baltimore, not two!'".[3]

Cast

Starring cast

The third season returned with the focus on investigating the Barksdale Organization and introducing new characters such as the rival Stanfield Organization and local politicians. The returning cast consisted of Dominic West as Detective Jimmy McNulty, whose insubordinate tendencies and personal problems continued to overshadow his ability;[4][5] Lance Reddick as Lieutenant Cedric Daniels, now commanding his own unit;[6][7] Kima Greggs, played by Sonja Sohn, now McNulty's new partner within the unit;[8][9] Clarke Peters as Lester Freamon;[10][11] Deirdre Lovejoy as Assistant State's Attorney Rhonda Pearlman.[12][13]

Wood Harris reprised his role as incarcerated drug kingpin Avon Barksdale.[14][15] Idris Elba's character Stringer Bell continued to run the Barksdale Organization in Avon's absence.[16][17] Andre Royo returned as Bubbles, who continued to indulge his drug addiction and act as an occasional informant.[18][19]

Deputy Commissioner of Operations William Rawls (John Doman) and Acting Commissioner Ervin Burrell (Frankie Faison), the two commanding officers, seem to be more concerned with politics and their own careers than actual police work.[20][21][22][23] Wendell Pierce portrayed veteran homicide detective Bunk Moreland.[24][25]

The new season saw several previously recurring characters assuming larger starring roles, including Seth Gilliam as Sergeant Ellis Carver,[26] Domenick Lombardozzi as Detective Thomas "Herc" Hauk,[27] Detective Leander Sydnor (Corey Parker Robinson),[28] Detective Roland Pryzbylewski (Jim True-Frost),[29] Bodie Broadus (J.D. Williams),[30] Omar Little (Michael K. Williams),[31] and Major Howard "Bunny" Colvin (Robert Wisdom).[32] Colvin commanded the Western district where the Barksdale organization operated, and nearing retirement, he came up with a radical new method of dealing with the drug problem.[33] Herc and Carver joined the Western District Drug Enforcement Unit under Colvin's command.[34][35] Sydnor, a rising young star in the police department in season 1, returned to the cast as part of the major crimes unit along with Pryzbylewski.[36][37] Bodie had been seen gradually rising in the Barksdale organization since the first episode; he was born to their trade and showed a fierce aptitude for it.[38] Omar had a vendetta against the Barksdale organization and gave them all of his lethal attention.[39] A new starring character was also introduced in the third season: Tommy Carcetti (Aidan Gillen), an ambitious city councilman.[40][41]

Several members of the second season starring cast did not return for the third season with the change in focus and the termination of some characters' storylines. Chris Bauer (Frank Sobotka), Paul Ben-Victor (Spiros Vondas) and Amy Ryan (Beadie Russell) all left the starring cast with the third season.[42][43][44][45] Ryan returned as a guest star for a short scene at the end of the season.

Returning guest stars in the homicide unit include Delaney Williams as Sergeant Jay Landsman,[66][67] Ed Norris as Detective Ed Norris,[68][69] and Brian Anthony Wilson as Detective Vernon Holley.[70] Al Brown and Jay Landsman reprised their roles as patrol division officers Stan Valchek and Dennis Mello.[71][72][73][74] Michael Salconi recurred as veteran Western patrolman Michael Santangelo.[70]

New recurring characters in the third season were also spread between the Street and the Law. The upstart Stanfield Organization introduced several new roles: Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector), a ruthless leader seeking to challenge Avon's dominance;[75][76] Chris Partlow (Gbenga Akinnagbe), Stanfield's chief enforcer;[77][78] Felicia "Snoop" Pearson (Felicia Pearson), Partlow's protege;[79][80] Norris Davis as rimshop owner and advisor Vinson;[65] Brandon Fobbs as crew chief Fruit;[65] and Melvin T. Russell and Justin Burley as young drug dealers Jamal and Justin.[65] The Barksdale Organization also found several new recruits: Slim Charles (Anwan Glover), Avon's new chief enforcer;[81][82] Bernard (Melvin Jackson, Jr.), responsible for procuring disposable cell phones;[65] and Dennis "Cutty" Wise (Chad Coleman), a newly released convict uncertain of his future.[83][84]

The introduction of a political storyline brought many new characters.[70] Glynn Turman played Mayor Clarence Royce, the incumbent whom Carcetti planned to unseat.[85][86] Cleo Reginald Pizana portrayed Coleman Parker, Royce's chief-of-staff.[87] Brandy Burre appeared as Theresa D'Agostino, a political campaign consultant.[88][89] Frederick Strother performed as Odell Watkins, a state delegate and political king-maker.[90][91] Christopher Mann played Carcetti's city council colleague Anthony Gray.[92][93]

Several new police characters also debuted with the third season. Gregory L. Williams played Michael Crutchfield, a cantankerous homicide detective.[94][95] Joilet F. Harris had a small role as Caroline Massey, a new officer in the Major Crimes Unit.[96][97] The focus on Colvin's command of the Western District introduced several new characters both in Carver's Drug Enforcement Unit and in the Patrol Division. Carver's squad included Kenneth Dozerman (Rick Otto),[98][99] Anthony Colicchio (Benjamin Busch), Lloyd "Truck" Garrick (Ryan Sands), and Lambert (Nakia Dillard).[70] New rookie patrol officer Aaron Castor (Lee Everett Cox), Brian Baker (Derek Horton) and Officer Turner (Darrell M. Smith) also featured.[70]
