      *Three years after guest-starring on HBO’s “Sex in the City,” Blair Underwood returns to the cable channel in a new half-hour drama series called “In Treatment.”     

      Based on the popular and critically acclaimed Israeli series, the show centers on Paul (Gabriel Byrne), a therapist who is calm, smooth, insightful and nonconfrontational with his patients but becomes a testy self-doubting man full of barely concealed anger when he is a patient seeing his own shrink.

      Underwood will play one of Paul's patients, a fighter pilot who suffers the effects of a botched raid he was involved in years before that killed not only he three perpetrators but three underage hostages.

      Melissa George (“Alias”) co-stars as another patient, a resident in anesthesia at John Hopkins Hospital who is infatuated with the older, married Paul.

      Oscar winner Dianne Wiest also stars as Paul's former supervisor and mentor who he goes to see for a therapy session eight years after dropping her.
