‘In Treatment’: Sky Atlantic Sets July UK Premiere Date For Season 4
After a ten year break, Emmy-winning drama ‘In Treatment‘ returns for a 4th Season, albeit with a new lead and a whole new set to patients.
Emmy winner Uzo Aduba (best known for her portrayal of “Crazy Eyes” in Netflix’s ‘Orange Is The New Black’) takes the lead as the observant, empathetic Dr Brooke Taylor, the new therapist at the centre of the season. Set in present-day Los Angeles, the new series sees a diverse trio of patients in session with Brooke to help navigate a variety of modern concerns. Issues such as the global pandemic and recent major social and cultural shifts are a backdrop to the work Brooke will undertake — all while she deals with complications in her own personal life.
In the opening episodes, a troubling dream finds home health aide Eladio (Anthony Ramos – ‘In the Heights’, Hamilton on Broadway) reaching out in the middle of the night, forcing Brooke to reestablishes boundaries as his therapist. Later, when Eladio requests medication, Brooke switches her focus to his history of insomnia.
Then we turn our attention to Colin (John Benjamin Hickey – ‘Jessica Jones’, ‘Manhattan’) – a self-proclaimed therapy enthusiast and proud child of hippies. He arrives for the first of four court-mandated sessions, but his evasiveness makes a recommendation regarding his recent release from prison difficult for Brooke.
The series also stars Quintessa Swindell (‘Trinkets’, ‘Black Adam’) as Laila, Brooke’s patient who is a rebellious teenager, Charlayne Woodard (‘Law & Order: SVU’, ‘Prodigal Son’) as Rhonda – Laila’s grandmother, Liza Colón-Zayas (‘David Makes Man’, ‘Titans’) as Rita, Brooke’s AA sponsor, and Joel Kinnaman (‘For All Mankind’, ‘The Suicide Squad’) who recurs as Adam, Brooke’s longtime “on-again, off-again” boyfriend.
‘In Treatment‘ Season 4 premieres Monday, 19th July 2021 at 9pm with a double-bill on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
