UPDATE: We’ve just heard back from HBO on this. The Wire is being remastered and September was the original target date but the episodes are still being reviewed and aren’t ready quite yet. So the good news is that The Wire IS being remastered and is coming soon! The bad news is you’ll have to wait and the dates are still up in the air. We’re gussing this trailer was indeed real but that it wasn’t pulled in time. More as we get it. – Jacob
The original source is this man claiming to have seen this on HBO’s air:
Anyone else seeing the same? Please comment with your first-hand experiences.
We haven’t had news to report on HBO’s The Wire in a long, long time but this tidbit caught our ear. HBO will be rebroadcasting one of its iconic series: The Wire in never-before-broadcast HD glory! The marathon will begin weeknights at 8PM starting on September 4th. You’ll find the episodes on HBO Signature, a channel most, if not all HBO subscribers should have access to.
Here’s the teaser that’s been reportedly airing across HBO’s properties this weekend:
We aren’t sure if this rebroadcast is better or worse than what you can stream on HBO Go currently or on Amazon Prime but either way it’s exciting to see HBO give the series some love. A few weeks ago the Amazon Prime version of The Wire flipped to full HD, 16:9 aspect ratio but they have since been pulled. So the video exists, we just don’t know when HBO will drop it on us.
HBO has been frustratingly quiet about a release of The Wire on Blu-Ray. But with The Sopranos recently being announced as an amazing new Blu-Ray set and now the above news, we’re hoping that The Wire will make its way to Blu-Ray sometime in the near future. Why does HBO toy with us like this?
“It’s all in the DVD sales game, yo.”
If you can’t get enough of David Simon (the creator of The Wire) you’ll be happy to know that he’s putting together a new mini-series for HBO called Show me a Hero.
So go watch The Wire on HBO Signature this month. It’s a good time to watch it for the first time if you missed it in 2002 (which all but a few million loyalists did). Give it a watch and report back here when you’re inevitably converted.
