HBO is a constant source of amazing content, but nothing as me as excited as The Last of Us does. With Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy Miller, and more, the show is pulling out all the stops to make this a great game-to-TV adaptation. Now it seems as if the show is going out of its way to fill the void that The Walking Dead is leaving behind with a rumored 8-season arc.

The “Dune” television series prequel at HBO Max has found its new showrunner. Variety has learned exclusively that Diane Ademu-John has boarded “Dune: The Sisterhood” in the role of writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Jon Spaihts had previously been attached to run the series, but he stepped down in November 2019 to focus on writing the script for the second of the “Dune” reboot films.

In a local Alberta CTV news story discussing the filming of HBO’s The Last Of Us and the effect it has already had on small businesses in the province, one line raises eyebrows: a little detail about the massive budget. The post-apocalyptic video game series adaptation will apparently cost much more than $10 million dollars per episode, with a total budget in the hundred of millions, according to IATSE 212 president Damian Petti.

HBO's The Last of Us TV series will have a 10-episode first season, writer and producer Craig Mazin has confirmed. Culture Crave shared the episode count for the upcoming HBO series after it was revealed by Mazin during a recent appearance on the Scriptnotes podcast, in which he featured as a guest to discuss the process of prepping for an entire season of television. "We have five directors across 10 episodes," Mazin revealed around the 17:40 mark.

Jean Smart has been working steadily for more than forty years, from her first onscreen appearance, a small walk-on part as “Woman Bather” in the 1979 made-for-television movie “Before and After,” to her starring role as a millionaire standup comedian on HBO Max’s “Hacks.” In that sense, the current chatter about a Jean Smart renaissance (Jeanaissance?) is a bit surprising—she never went away. But it must be said that Smart is having a remarkable year.

The final episode of Mare of Easttown limited series drew four million viewers over the holiday weekend across HBO and HBO Max

How big was “Friends: The Reunion” for HBO Max? Almost superhero-big, according to third-party data. “Friends: The Reunion” was watched by an estimated 29% of U.S. streaming households on May 27, the first day of its release, as measured by TVision, a connected-TV analytics provider. Viewers of the special on HBO Max were 55.4% female, and more than 50% were in the 35-54 age demo.

HBO has offered a first look at the Watergate drama series “White House Plumbers” starring Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux.

In a first for anything HBO-branded, the cable provider will begin offering its content for a lower price, subsidized by advertising, starting the first week of June. Game of Thrones, brought to you by Tide? Advertising is coming.

The Crime Of The Century packs an incredible amount of striking, heartbreaking information as it charts the opioid crisis in the U.S. The HBO documentary is divided into two two-hour installments. The length can feel overwhelming because of the scope, but writer and director Alex Gibney’s challenging exploration of the subject matter justifies the runtime.

Despite the internet proclaiming Game of Thrones a dead and ruined embarrassment, the HBO show continues to find massive success years later.

With the benefit of a decade of retrospect, what “Game of Thrones” was able to accomplish in its eight seasons looks even more surprising.

More than a decade later, fans are still looking for answers to the untimely death of actress Brittany Murphy, who was only 32 when she was found dead in her West Hollywood home. Her life and the “mysterious circumstances surrounding [her] tragic death” will be explored in a two-part documentary that will air on HBO Max, according to the streaming service. The series “will go beyond the conspiracy theories and headlines, featuring new interviews by those closest to Brittany and new archival footage.”

HBO Max has ordered a documentary about the late actor Brittany Murphy. The two-part series hails from Blumhouse Television and Pyramid Productions. The documentary will explore the life and death …

In 1971, martial arts legend Bruce Lee pitched a television show that was passed over for a simple and unfortunate reason: his race. At the time (and even now), Hollywood didn't have faith an American show with an Asian lead would attract an audience to satisfy costs. Lee died two years later in 1973, his dream unfulfilled.

Search Party, Euphoria, and so much more.

Craig Mazin's small screen take on The Last of Us video game franchise is officially coming to the Home Box Office. First announced in May of this year, the post-apocalyptic series has officially been green-lit, the premium cable network announced today. Mazin (scribe of The Hangover II - III and HBO's critically acclaimed Chernobyl miniseries) will write and executive produce the series alongside Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann.

HBO Max is honoring a request by Dave Chappelle to remove “Chappelle’s Show” from the streaming service at the end of this year. Casey Bloys, chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max, made the revelation during the keynote conversation on day one of Variety’s Virtual FYCFest.

As of this week, HBO Max is no longer offering a free one-week signup period to new subscribers.

When Warner Bros. announced in mid-November that Wonder Woman 1984 will be available on HBO Max the same day it premieres in select theaters, I groaned. Not because of the decision to bring the movie right to the living room — that’s the right call — but I knew that, at the time, all content on HBO Max still topped out at 1080p. Resolution is one area where the service badly trails its competitors.
