In a statement, the HBO TV network, which aired 60 episodes of The Wire between 2002 and 2008, said something very touching.

‘We are devastated to learn of the passing of Michael Kenneth Williams, a member of the HBO family for more than 20 years.’

The network continued: ‘While the world is aware of his immense talents as an artist, we knew Michael as a dear friend who was beloved by all who had the privilege to work with him. We send our deepest condolences to his family for this immeasurable loss.’

In a BBC interview in 2018, Williams explained why The Wire was such a success.

‘I think it has just stayed with people because it’s still relevant now, because of the climate of what’s going on in the United States. I think it’s actually a little sad,’ he said.

Let’s keep Michael’s loved ones lifted up in prayer during such a difficult time.
