Pete, the latest hit for HBO Max's commercial streamer (which I have to shake, is no Simply spin-off of Air) is already set to return for the second season. Now, in an interview for VultureCasey Bloce, president and CEO of HBO and Max Content, has everyone, but has vowed the series will return annually. TV audiences that grew up before the arrival of streaming know that this is just like the medium used to workSo this is a particularly welcome news from Bloos. The CEO also talked about the difficulty of making a high concept, large budget shows that take a lot of time for craft and perfect ... and how Pete is just as great as those seriesIt is still done in such a way that it can In fact, post a season every year without much trouble.

Talking about Bloossi, Ultosef Adalian of Wultre asked him for each season of Pete is 15 episodes, which the executive has described as a return call for older network procedures. "We were very intentional to love a network style show, which means more than seven or eight episodes," Bloy said. "We specifically wanted a show that can go for 15 episodes every season because it's 15 weeks of engagement for us." Later, Bloce referred to why Pete takes 15 episodes to tell his story in season 1 is especially important for Max's ultimate bottom line:

"The other really important thing about this model and is something lost art (...) is, the second season will premiere in January 2026. (That) I can get 15 episodes in a year.

Casey Bloyce's conversation with Joseph Adalian in Vulture descended to one thing: Max and Blooss made a big bet with Pete, and paid off comfortably. As the show continued, the word from the mouth turned it into a huge hit for Strimmer (which, besides the series of "Haki" comedy, really had no A. Major Success that is not also a show that is broadcast on HBO accordingly). Led by Noah Will and two more veterans "Air" - R. Scott Gemmil and Johnon Wells, who worked on the creative team of mass -popular NBC medical drama - Pete uses the specific style of storytelling, known for "24,", allowing each episode to cover a chronological hour. (The 15 "Hours" in the first season covers a shift in the emergency department of the overcrowded hospital in Pittsburgh.)

Procedures are Huge The streaming services (shows like "bones" and "suits" are still really successful in streamers like Fulu and Netflix, although they ended up years ago), so the fact that Bloce took a chance of a completely new procedure throwing Sunday Harkens back on the previous age on television. So how did that happen? "There was this idea to try to understand," What is the HBO show versus the maximum show? How do you define them? "" Bloyce told Adalian. "You know HBO show. Max Show is something we are still trying to define. One of the reasons I am very happy with Pete is something I can point to specifically and say, "This is a great example of maximum original." Doing something that HBO's show is not, and now it's not just theoretical, it's a show that has done incredibly good on any metrics - on reviews, for performance, the audience she wears. "

Clearly, Pete checks many boxes. It has been done well, brilliantly acted by Noah Will and his co-stars and walked well. Plus, that is One of the most accurate showing of emergency premises and the medical field in general It has been on TV ever since, well, "Air". That and, as I said, it is a classic procedure. In fact, Casey Bloyce told Joseph Adalian that he actually reworked the way any show Posted Make it more accessible to viewers and, potentially, even make a new form of "scheduling" TV. HBO is not alien to that term; When the "Game of Thrones" and "Succia" had the desired 9pm on Sunday on the premium network, viewers joined live in Huge Numbers to see the latest episodes. The purpose of the Bloy, then, was to ensure that the maximum show could get the same treatment.

"When I started the Max platform, I said," Why are we posting shows at midnight? "And I got an answer like," Well, when we report the numbers, you want more data from the night before, blah, blah, blah ..., "Blossi explained. "Don't make much sense. People as appointing TV. Now they see, most people watching Pete or White Lotos will watch the premiere of the night. But I think there is something important to have a day and time to publish. We all got a little more saving on how and when people look at streaming and how to measure it. So, I believe in the release of shows on Thursday night.

Adalian followed this by asking if other maximum exclusives like Haki will receive the treatment at 9pm - according to Blooss, they will - and if more than the originals of Strimmer will also receive an overview at the end of each episode. "I just believe that when we release a week, it's a nice way to give the audience something to expect," Bloy said.
