Milo Ventimiglia Stars in New HBO Max Police Drama

Milo Ventimiglia is set to star in HBO Max's upcoming police drama pilot, titled "American Blue." The project, created by Jeremy Carver, will see Ventimiglia take on the role of Brian "Milk" Milkovich. He will portray a former officer returning to his hometown of Joliet, Illinois.

His character's mission is to aid a struggling police force while simultaneously pursuing personal redemption. David Ayer has been attached to direct the pilot, which is written and executive produced by Carver. This development is part of HBO Max's broader strategy to replicate the success of their medical drama 'The Pitt.'

HBO Max ordered pilots for 'American Blue' and another drama in an effort to achieve the critical and ratings success of 'The Pitt.' This strategy involves longer episode orders, modest budgets, and annual releases, a formula HBO executives believe still holds significant value.
