Casey Bloys, CEO of Content at HBO Max, has presented the platform's next news for 2024 and early 2025. In the midst of an image crisis, Bloys wanted to hit the table by listing all the news that is coming… and the truth is that there are not few.
The Regime
Kate Winslet's third series for HBO takes her into unexpected comedic territory. Directed by Stephen Frears, it delves into the political and domestic intricacies of a Central European regime with Winslet as the president.
Dune Prophecy
The first images of this series, formerly known as Dune: The Sisterhood, have been revealed after a period of silence. It's still unclear whether it is a prequel or sequel to Denis Villeneuve's movies.
Larry David Season 12
Regarding the continuity of the comedy starring Larry David, Bloys pointed out that the decision to end the series lies entirely with the Seinfeld writer, who chose to step aside.
The Sympathizer
Based on the 2016 Pulitzer Prize-winning work for fiction, this series tells a daring espionage story in which a Vietcong spy sends information to his people from a Vietnamese refugee camp in the United States. The A24 production for HBO stands out for the involvement of the Korean director and writer Park Chan-wook, as well as the multiple performances of a revitalized Robert Downey Jr.
The Jinx – Part Two
This sequel to one of the most significant true crime documentaries of recent years continues the story of Robert Durst, who was convicted following the revelations in the first part of the series. The production promises to continue pushing the boundaries of plausibility.
Penguin
The spin-off of Matt Reeves' The Batman is presented as more of a gangster story than a superhero one. Colin Farrell leads the cast, and a new trailer shows the intriguing presence of Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, who will face off against the Penguin for control of the underworld in Gotham.
House of the Dragon Season 2
It is one of HBO's flagship series for 2024. The next season will premiere in early summer and promises a plot filled with dragons and a continuation of the aesthetic. This time, the series aims to provide a more coherent experience compared to the time jumps in the first season.
True Detective: Night Country
The fourth season of this series will be directed by the Mexican filmmaker Issa López. It will introduce a radically different approach compared to previous seasons. While the earlier ones were male-centric, sweaty, and daytime, this one is female-centric, icy, and nocturnal. Jodie Foster will star in this new installment.
The Franchise
This series created by Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci pokes fun at Marvel-style superhero movies. The trailer presented exudes humor and criticism towards films shot in front of a green screen and the extravagant behavior of the stars.
In addition to these releases for 2024, some series set to arrive in 2025 were officially announced, including the third season of Euphoria, the second season of The Last of Us, the third season of White Lotus set in Thailand, and the prequel to It , Welcome to Derry, initially scheduled for Halloween in 2024.
