HBO Max is building on the breakout success of five-time Emmy winning procedural The Pitt by seeking cop, medical and legal dramas from around the world.
Sarah Aubrey, who runs originals for the streamer, said procedurals could be the way to go in some of the newer territories in Europe that HBO Max is slowly moving into. She said she wants shows with numerous episodes and joked to the British audience at Content London : “You guys order six episodes of things, that’s so crazy to me.”
“I think we could go back to traditional TV formats in the medical, legal and cop world,” she added. “Audiences eat those up. If we apply the lessons learned from streaming over the past several years of quality character writing and apply that to those genres then we will have great success.”
