Dane DeHaan Stars As A Troubled Gay Teen In HBO's 'In Treatment'

The third season of the HBO drama In Treatment returns this week with

a new gay teen storyline.

Dane DeHaan will play the role of Jesse, described as a “gay and proud

of it” teenage hipster.

“Jesse is described as being full of creativity and angst and he is

struggling with his identity and his relationship with his adoptive

parents,”

writes Hernandez.

The drama features Gabriel Byrne as psychotherapist Dr. Paul Weston.

“Paul works to instill a sense of belonging and self-worth in Jesse

but when Jesse's birth parents re-introduce themselves into his life,

all of Paul's work is threatened,” Hernandez adds.

In Treatment airs five shows a week, each dedicated to a specific client.

Episodes featuring Jesse will be aired on Tuesdays, beginning with

tonight's show.

DeHaan starred in the made-for-television movies At Risk and

The Front.

Also joining the cast in the show's third season is three-time Oscar

nominee and Cleveland native Debra Winger.
