With Max launching in France and Belgium, Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, sat down with Variety to discuss several of the networks premier shows, including The Penguin,Euphoria, and The White Lotus.

When asked about HBO and Maxs next 18 months, Bloys shared how Warner Bros. IP has led to some of the companys most successful shows. When mentioning The Penguin, Bloys shared the shows release date.

After House of the Dragon, the next big tentpole series that we have coming up will be The Penguin with Colin Farrell, Bloys said. That is coming out of Matt Reeves The Batman, and its fantastic. Just like Peacemaker came out of James Gunns Suicide Squad, its a really good example of what you can do. Thatll be in September.

One of HBOs most popular shows is Euphoria, the provocative teen drama series that follows a group of high schoolers navigating love, sex, drugs, and addiction. Since the season 2 finale in February 2022,Euphoriahas experienced numerous delays. Scripts are still being written, and no filming date has been announced. Bloys touched on his conversations with Euphoriacreator Sam Levinson about the upcoming third season, including a potential time jump.

Related One of the issues I think that Sam is thinking about is that he doesnt want to have it in high school anymore, Bloys said. Thats where it was set, and what made sense then. So when you take it out of that, theres a lot of back and forth about where to set it and how far in the future to set it, and all that stuff. But I think hes got a take that hes excited about, and hes busy writing.

Bloys added that the core cast including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer would return for season 3.

The White Lotus, Mike Whites anthology series, is filming its third season in Thailand for a 2025 release. Will there be more seasons of The White Lotus?

I think as long as he [Mike White] wants to do it, well go along for the ride, Bloys said. Hes really built a very interesting model to go from different parts of the world and have a rotating cast.

Bloys added Dune: Prophecystreams later in 2024, with Welcome to Derryin 2025 andHarry Potterfurther down the line. Other shows in development are based on popular IP, like The Conjuring,Crazy Rich Asians, andGreen Lantern.

Finally, would Bloys ever be open to aSuccessionspinoff?

I would take [creator] Jesse [Armstrongs] lead on that, Bloys explained. If for some reason Jesse called and said, Ive been thinking about it and I really want to do a spinoff, I would say, Great.
