HBO Max passes on 'The Pitt'-style police drama "American Blue"

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

HBO Max has decided not to move forward with a pilot for "American Blue," a police series starring Milo Ventimiglia. The show was intended to replicate the success of "The Pitt" by offering a relatively inexpensive, 15-episode annual series. Despite the rejection, Warner Bros. is reportedly shopping the series to other networks and streaming services. "The Pitt" itself continues to be a major success for HBO Max, with its third season scheduled for January 2027, maintaining a model of long seasons and short gaps between them. AI
