In 2020, Warner Bros. launched HBO Max, and then in 2022, they shortened the streaming service’s name to just Max. Today, they announced they are going back to HBO Max.
Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, said, “With the course we are on and strong momentum we are enjoying, we believe HBO Max far better represents our current consumer proposition. And it clearly states our implicit promise to deliver content that is recognized as unique and, to steal a line we always said at HBO, worth paying for.”
And when will David Zaslav start paying for all of the stupid mistakes he makes?
And when is Freeform going back to ABC Family and Syfy to Sci-Fi? What I am trying to change is that rebranding never works. We are too lazy to learn anything new.
The second season of The Last of Us is going to debut this Sunday, and fans don’t have to wait to find out if the show will be back for another season. HBO announced today that the show will be back for season 3. So while everyone is dying around Joel and Bella, their apocalyptic drama is not.
Neil Druckmann, creator, executive producer, writer, and director, said, “To see The Last of Us brought to life so beautifully and faithfully has been a career highlight for me, and I am grateful for the fans’ enthusiastic and overwhelming support. Much of that success is thanks to my partner in crime, Craig Mazin, our partnership with HBO, and our team at PlayStation Productions. On behalf of everyone at Naughty Dog, our cast, and crew, thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity. We’re thrilled to bring you more of THE LAST OF US!”
At this rate, Ashley Johnson will be able to play Bella again, and not her mom.
The Pitt is the biggest new show on Max in a long time. Therefore, it makes sense that the minute-by-minute medical drama was picked up for a second season nearly two months before the season finale.
The Noah Wyle starrer, which reunited him with ER’s John Wells, is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each episode follows an hour of Dr. Robby’s (Wyle) 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital’s emergency room.
John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill, and Noah Wyle said, “We’re excited and delighted with the audience response for our first season of THE PITT and can’t be more appreciative of our partners at Max and Warner Bros. Television for all of their extraordinary support throughout our first season.”
Max announced in March that ER creator John Wells was reteaming with Noah Wyle for the medical drama The Pitt, and today, we got the first trailer for the series.

There have been comparisons that this is like the NBC series, but it doesn’t look like it. I like the concept that is going to be done in real time, as compared to a procedural.
Seth Meyers is the father of three children: Ashe, 8, Axel, 6, and Adelaide, 3. And the Late Night host has no problem talking about them since the day his eldest was nearly born in a cab.
If talking about them on his talk show is not enough, he is going to do a standup special on Max talking about all the things that drive the day drinker crazy.
Seth Meyers, known for his dry wit and sharp topical commentary as host of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the veteran comedian shifts his focus to his personal life – from the chaos of raising three young kids, to navigating different communication styles in marriage, to the proper way to cross the street in New York City.
Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking starts streaming October 26th on Max. I can’t wait to check it out because Meyers is one of the few comedians whose standup specials that I can watch all the way through.
