20 Nov
Summary

HBO Max is embracing a revived television production model, aiming for series with 15 or more episodes per season. This strategy is designed to ensure a consistent yearly release of new content, a pattern successfully demonstrated by their drama 'The Pitt'. This approach aims to cultivate habitual viewing for audiences.
According to Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content, the platform is looking to return to longer seasons akin to those common in broadcast television. This requires developing worlds that can sustain numerous compelling storylines and working with creators experienced in producing this volume of content.
The company is prioritizing quality and creative vision over predetermined numbers of shows per year. This flexibility allows them to greenlight projects based on strong scripts and belief in the creative team, potentially leading to more HBO Originals or HBO Max series in any given year.
