[edit] Starring cast

The third season returned the focus to an investigation of the Barksdale Organization. It also introduced new characters including the rival Stanfield Organization and local politicians. The returning starring cast consisted of Dominic West as Detective Jimmy McNulty, whose insubordinate tendencies and personal problems continued to overshadow his ability.[3][4] Lance Reddick reprised his role as Lieutenant Cedric Daniels, now commanding his own unit.[5][6] Sonja Sohn returned as Kima Greggs, McNulty's new partner within the unit.[7][8] Clarke Peters reprised his character, veteran detective Lester Freamon, who was once again working for Daniels.[9][10] Deirdre Lovejoy starred as assistant state's attorney Rhonda Pearlman, the legal liaison between the unit and the courthouse.[11][12]
