The first season will consist of eight episodes, so stay tuned for more on The Deuce toward September.
Developed with Simon’s frequent collaborator George Pelecanos, The Deuce follows the legalization and subsequent rise of the porn industry in New York’s Times Square from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s.
See for yourself, as a first official teaser-trailer for HBO’s The Deuce promises a September premiere.
HBO’s last venture into ‘70s New York didn’t end so well, but a double-dose of James Franco, sprinkled with The Wire creator David Simon and a dash of porn might do the trick.
