Good news, In Treatment viewers: the HBO drama is returning for a third season.

Production on the Emmy-winning hit will begin in New York in early 2010. It will air new episodes later that year. Said Michael Lombardo President of Programming Group and West Coast Operations for the network:

"In Treatment is synonymous with inspired writing and brilliant acting. This is the kind of show that could only flourish on HBO, and we’re proud to bring it back.”
