With Game of Thrones ending soon, HBO’s already desperate for content. They brought Curb back, and the Deadwood movie is finally (maybe) happening. They even tentatively greenlit True Detective for another season thus proving that the best part about that premise is that whatever happens you can immediately forget about it. So why not everyone’s favorite completely fictionalized boiler plate crime-of-the-week drama, The Wire? With Will and Grace, Gilmore Girls, and Fuller House leading the charge, there’s plenty of precedent for old shows and characters that haven’t been on TV in a decade to just show up again out of the blue like everyone’s favorite cousin who like, maybe got arrested? No one knows, but yeah he’s coming to Christmas this year. Do not give him money.

It’s just a matter of time before this IP is snatched up again like a two-for-one at Happy Hour, and I personally would the love the chance to sit down again with McNulty, Irish up his tea, and have a visit, so here are six pitches for where the gang should go in Season 6:

Domino Sugar Factory

Premise: In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get McNulty and Bunk knockin’ on your door asking questions.

The Domino Sugar plant looms over Baltimore like a delicious T.J. Eckleburg, but the gang quickly realize that there’s more to THIS white powder than meets the eye.

Season Highlight: McNulty, after ten years of sobriety, trades in his Jameson bottle for Aunt Jemima, and must battle his sweetener addiction while going undercover as a South African gummy lord.

Cutty Goes Pro

Premise: After a newly gentrified West Baltimore opens up a Globo-Gym across the street, Cutty must find a source of income quickly or risk losing all the neighborhood kids who just would really prefer spin. Turns out, competitive gaming has lots of lucrative opportunities, and plenty of ex-cons to help get Cutty “back in the game.” Which Overwatch character will he choose? The answer will surprise you!

Quote: “The game ain’t in me no more.”

-Cutty, after swallowing a literal video game and going to the hospital.

Vegas

Guys, remember Las Vegas with Josh Duhamel? And… wait, was it James Caan? It was! Wow, what a weird choice for him, although obviously the only way a major casino would be like “Yeah, sure, please show a fictionalized but still highly detailed version of our major security systems on network TV” is if James Caan held the reins. Would love to see the penthouse they gave him though, where he threw his famous James Caan-Can-Cans, followed the next morning by James Caan-Can’t-Can-Can-Nomores.

Oh, am I wasting your time? Whatever, this one’s kind of a layup, honestly. “The Wire Vegas” is the “Jersey Shore Italy” season of this show, in the sense that those three words are all the premise you need.

Season Highlight: Lester Freeman and Herc’s road trip buddy comedy where they stop at every Civil War battlefield on the way so that Herc can figure out which side his great-great-great-grandfather fought on (Spoiler: Turns out he’s Canadian and did not remember).

Waste Management

What’s that smell? No, not that one, that big money smell? That’s right, it’s the scent of a CROSSOVER SEASON. And with the magic of CGI and the scraps of the cutting room floor, we can make anyone say or do anything, regardless of availability or life status.

After the cops finally bust up the supply chain and put the Greeks away for good, Mecha-Marlo (origin story pending) is in dire need of some product.

He agrees to a meet up with the boss of a mysterious man in a Members Only jacket. After a trip up 95 to a little hole-in-the-wall known as Satriale’s Pork Store, Double-M strikes a deal that floods the streets with a new super-strong, Taylor-scented drug named “Pie-O-My.”

Gabagool!

Season Food Highlight: Gabagool!

NASA

“The f*** did I do?” screams McNulty, and as usual, no one answers. Only this time, it’s cuz he’s in space.

After the federal government defunds the museum system, Enterprising (get it?) criminals start using vacant exhibits as stash houses. When a million blood-soaked dollars are found in the Space Shuttle Challenger, the gang decides to follow the money. All the way to the top.

Season Highlight: Rhonda Pearlman finally passing the bar exam for space law.

The White House

Mmf, actually, too soon. Maybe wait till Veep needs a ratings boost.
