Sky Arts - In Treatment

An unusual and emotional series, In Treatment brings a dynamic new focus to a staple of modern society – the psychotherapy session. Five individual stories will be played out over nine weeks, with each story anchored on a specific weekday:

Mondays: Laura - An attractive young anaesthesiologist who’s been Paul’s patient for a year, Laura is in the midst of her own relationship crisis, and is facing an ultimatum: break up with her boyfriend Andrew, or marry him. After she recounts a sordid night at a bar followed by a pre-dawn vigil outside Paul’s office, Laura drops a bombshell: she’s in love with her therapist. Though Paul tells her “I’m not an option,” Laura insists, “You’ve become the centre of my life.” Laura is played by Melissa George.

Tuesdays: Alex - An arrogant Navy pilot who prides himself on his high standards, Alex is drawn to Paul’s reputation as “the best,” yet spends much of his first session challenging the therapist. Alex does give Paul an account of the events that drove him here: the bombing of an Iraqi school in which 16 boys were killed, and a subsequent heart at tack suffered during a 22-mile run with a gay friend. Alex is played by Blair Underwood

Wednesdays: Sophie - A precocious teenage gymnast who won the Junior Nationals, Sophie’s hopes to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team took a hit, literally, when the bike she was riding rammed into the side of a car. She arrives at Paul’s because she needs a “professional opinion” to counter an investigation by the driver’s insurance company, who suspects the accident was a suicide attempt. The girl reveals a strained relationship with her mother but idealizes both her long-time coach and her father whom she rarely sees. Sophie is played by Mia Wasikowska.

Thursdays: Amy and Jake - Jake and Amy, a volatile and strained couple, tried for over five years to have a second child. After years of fertility treatment, Amy gave up – and then got pregnant. However, she’s no longer convinced she should have the baby – a turnaround that infuriates her suspicious husband. On the afternoon of their session, Jake pushes Paul to offer an opinion on whether they should keep the baby. His candid answer comes as a shock to Jake and Amy – and Paul. Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz play Jake and Amy.

Fridays: Dr Paul Weston meets with his therapist Gina – Paul is a 50-something therapist who conducts his practice from his home-office. He is married to Kate and has two boys and a girl. By all accounts he’s respected and successful, yet it’s clear his nerves are fraying on the edges. After four particularly trying days of therapy, Paul decides he needs the counsel of a retired therapist he hasn’t seen in nearly ten years. Once there, however, he admits to being equally anxious about his own marriage, suspecting his wife might be having an affair.

Despite his stubborn disposition, Paul relied deeply on Gina as his professional supervisor years ago. Since then, Gina lost her husband, turned 60, retired as a therapist, and started writing a novel. Yet when Paul unexpectedly calls her to discuss his growing issues with his practice, the equally strong-willed therapist allows him to return, renewing a complicated relationship between them. Dr Paul Weston is played by Gabriel Byrne and Dr Gina Grant is played by Dianne Wiest.

Tune in for the series at 10pm every weekday on Sky Arts 1 / HD, with an omnibus of the week’s therapy sessions at 10pm every Sunday.

Typo alert to Sky Arts - Blair Underwood of “In Treatment” started on the “Cosby Show” (as in Bill Cosby), NOT the “Crosby Show.” <g>

I emailed Sky direct and they replied to say they had no plans to show series 2 - maybe if enough people email they will change their minds, I’m so dissapointed, what an amazing show.

Dear Laura, I think you may have been given the wrong information! We haven’t got confirmation yet on the second series of In Treatment, but we’re working very hard to secure the rights so we can bring it to you as soon as possible. Keep your eyes peeled on our Twitter feed and you’ll be the first to know once we’ve got it.

Cant inderstand why Sky One are not showing ‘In Treatment ‘series 2, when theres progammes such as ‘Stargate Universe’ having a slot which is such poor quality scfi. ‘In treatment’ is up there with ‘Lost’, ‘Lie to Me’ and ‘Fringe’

this is going to get nasty, where the hell is in treatment ??? skyARTS can dish out money on that complete and utter twat Rankin and his photgraphy that has all the merit of photographing a kitten in a bloody basket !! SHAME ON YOU SO CALLED skyARTS, you need to get your perspective on the work you show and work that actually has something to say !! other than rankin and his fat ego and below medicore images !!!!

Rob

Seriously, showing series 2 would reflect very well on the Sky brand. Quality drama like this is so rarely found, and if Sky ever wants to be taken seriously its Arts channel needs to up the quotient of intelligent drama and perhaps lose some of the cheaper pseudo arts programmes.

Chris

Sat 23 October 2010, 15:10

Season one was exceptional tv. Season 2 isn’t an every night commitment so I’ve heard (2 a week), get the rights pronto and give it the slot on Sky One it deserves

Fiona

Thu 28 October 2010, 10:22

Cant believe there has been no progress for a year in getting the Second Series aired! Come on do something!!!!

Sal

Thu 28 October 2010, 19:22

come on Sky, get your act together and show series 2! you can see there’s an audience here waiting for it!

Milo

Sat 30 October 2010, 20:00

You all might as well buy the box set of series 2 from Amazon, since Sky, in their usual customer focussed way, couldn’t care less!

Meeky.

Fri 5 November 2010, 07:22

Please, please keep us up to date. I honestly believe it’s a touch of genius.

Asbo Jangles

Is season one worth a try?

Ian

Fri 12 November 2010, 13:51

Is there anyone from Sky monitoring this??
Can we have some news on Series 2? It is for sale on Amazon, maybe thats the route....

Sally

Wed 17 November 2010, 15:22

Season two is almost over in the states it is very disappointing that we do not have it.

Atleast have to decency to respond to when we might know if we are getting it or not

Francesca

Thu 25 November 2010, 18:30

When are we going to see Season 2 in the UK?
Some information please, please!

Jane

Mon 6 December 2010, 19:04

COME ON!!! When, when, when, when… PLEASE tell us.

Sara

Wed 8 December 2010, 10:24

Please let us know if you are going to show In Treatment season 2.

Angel

Thu 16 December 2010, 23:39

It is unlikely we will see series 2...the States are on series 3! I’m just going to buy it on Amazon. Sky don’t understand customer service whatsoever :(

Rod Goodway

Tue 21 December 2010, 16:33

Ok, Your silence speaks volumes, Sky. But could we just have a definate “NO” on ‘In Treatment ‘ Series 2 ?? It is so RUDE to not even respond !!!

Keith

Thu 30 December 2010, 15:12

Is the second series being aired before the UK release of it in September? Please let us know as I think this was one of the best series I have seen in “FOREVER” !

Sue

Fri 31 December 2010, 12:42

I emailed Sky Arts ages ago and was told that they would not be showing Series 2. Amazing considering what dross they do out out. Gabriel Byrne is amazing and this is a thoughtful, beautifully written drama.
Sky clearly do not listen to their viewers - I’ve pre-ordered the box set on amazon as they do know what people want

Marc

Thu 6 January 2011, 03:02

Great news everyone! According to a report in The Guardian, series two of In Treatment is due to be broadcast in April, on the new Sky Atlantic channel!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jan/05/sky-atlantic-2011-highlights?

Maggie

Mon 10 January 2011, 18:07

Was delighted to see the report in the Guardian. This is such a high quality show it would be terrible not to show it on UK television.

Richard

Mon 17 January 2011, 17:15

Why do we have to get this news from the Guardian rather than Sky. Its called customer service and its what we pay for

alison

Sun 23 January 2011, 00:26

Why have we waited so long??? I hope this is true that we wil see series 2. Sky must be mad !! what an amazing drama so rare!

James Boulter

Sun 30 January 2011, 14:51

As a Sky subscriber for over five years, I am incredibly disappointied with the organisation for not screening the second season of In Treatment sooner. Their irresponsible and reckless attitude towards their customers only highlights the deep rooted problems they have. If they spent longer trying to secure the rights for In Treatment and less time trying to take overall control of their own company and tapping phones then we may have been ready for the third season of In Treatment that has already been out in America. They should fire that Glen Beck fella too, or send him to Paul to work through some of his issues.

Amrit

Thu 21 April 2011, 11:53

Season 2 is finally arriving - next Friday, 29 April at 10.15pm on SKY ATLANTIC (Channel 108) and not Sky Arts. So enjoy all!!!!
