ChatGPT, showrunner:

As an AI language model, I must state that there hasn't been any confirmation about a sixth season of The Wire being produced. However, I can offer some hypothetical plot lines that could happen if a sixth season were to be made:

Political Corruption: The previous seasons of The Wire explored corruption in law enforcement and drug trafficking. A sixth season could explore political corruption at the local or state level, as various political figures and parties try to gain power and influence through illicit means.

Cyber Crime: A sixth season could explore the world of cybercrime and the role it plays in modern society. The series could delve into hacking, identity theft, cyberbullying, and other online crimes that affect people's daily lives.

Immigration: Another theme that The Wire could explore in a sixth season is immigration. The show could delve into the experiences of immigrants, both legal and illegal, and how their presence affects communities, both positively and negatively. [I think David Simon has mentioned this being his idea]

Environmental Issues: The Wire could also tackle environmental issues in a sixth season, highlighting the effects of pollution and climate change on people's health and well-being. The show could examine the role of corporations and government in perpetuating environmental issues and the consequences that result.

Social Media and Fake News: In a world dominated by social media and fake news, The Wire could explore the impact of these forces on society. The show could examine how fake news spreads and how it affects people's perceptions of the world around them, leading to conflict and chaos.

These are just a few potential plot lines that a sixth season of The Wire could explore. However, it's important to note that these ideas are speculative, and it's ultimately up to the show's creators to decide on the direction of any future seasons.

Lance Reddick, star of John Wick, The Wire, and Fringe, has died at age 60

The star of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" and "The Wire" comes clean about his history with drugs.

“I thought, ‘Why me? Why did I get spared?’ I should’ve been dead,” Williams says. “I have the scars. I’ve stuck my head in the lion’s mouth. Obviously, God saved me for a purpose. So, I decided to get clean and then come clean. I’m hoping I can reach that one person.”

The 54-year-old actor was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment by his nephew

Posted to Flickr way back in 2011. The poster, mister frothee, says:

A set of five miniature wind-up characters from yet another off the air HBO series, "The Wire". They're each about 2.5 inches tall, and have weird proportions due to the small motors they contain. From Left to right: Jimmy McNulty, Bunk Moreland, Bubbles, Omar Little, and Kima Greggs. I'd be lying if I said I was really happy with the Kima sculpt - but since I was going for a "Happy Meal" toy aesthetic, I can live with it.

Not for sale - I just made the one set as a present.

There’s a section of Jonathan Abrams’ All The Pieces Matter: The Inside Story Of The Wire about the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene in which the Wire character deputy commissioner of operations William Rawls (John Doman) appears at a gay bar. Doman kept wondering whether that reveal would lead to a major plot arc for the character but it never did. “In his brilliance, he never touched it again… He just dropped that little seed in there,” Doman said of the show’s creator David Simon.

Based on this review, the book isn’t great but probably will be interesting to fans.

Update: I read the book. It had interesting moments, but it’s definitely not essential. My favorite thing to learn was that Robert Chew (Prop Joe) was a de facto coach for the child actors.

“five deep breaths” - short film directed by Seith Mann which David Simon says is where Bob Colesberry found Jamie Hector who would play Marlo Stanfield on The Wire.

Simon on Hector playing Marlo:

It's been a singular act of gorgeous restraint to play Marlo Stanfield. The film we found him in, we found him in a short film by Seith Mann, and that's how we found Seith Mann, called "Five Deep Breaths." Bob (Colesberry) noticed him right away, noticed the direction and Jamie as the lead, and he's the presumptive hero of that piece, the kid with heart and the kid with a conscience and we cast him as Marlo Stanfield! Right away we knew his range. It wasn't a surprise to us. We knew what he could do. But part of that character required a willful restraint, and the only place where it made sense for him to lose control was in that precise moment.

The Greek’s hangout and the police detail’s headquarters were just down the street from each other!

Looking for The Greek? His place was at 1900 South Clinton, but you’ll find it more easily at 39.26957, -76.56968 in Google Maps.

Or you can find it on Yelp.

I found Wee Bey’s house/aquarium. The street sign behind the Mercedes says Mosher, but I couldn’t read the cross street. Looking at Google Maps satellite view, I found a stone church on Mosher and as you can see in the second pic the garage across the alley matches the background. They’re turning onto Tiffany Alley, and when they get out of the car it looks like Wee Bey’s place is the first one on the right.

Looking for some, ahem, gentleman’s entertainment? Well, Orlando’s was fictional but you can go to Ritz Cabaret (504 S Broadway, Baltimore, MD 21231) and see how it compares. Meanwhile, The Love Zone is now Baltimore Boxing Fitness.

Wanna drink like Bunk and McNulty? Well, sadly, you can’t. Wee Peter’s Pub (504 S Ann St, Baltimore, MD 21231), seen here in S1E7, is now Peter’s Inn and Google says the “former dive bar houses farm-to-table American fare & craft cocktails amid hip, cluttered decor.” There goes the neighborhood.
