HBO‘s Casey Bloys has dished about some upcoming projects on the horizon, including confirmation of sorts that creator/showrunner Mike White is currently writing the fourth season of “The White Lotus,” with it “likely” heading to France for the hit show’s next location after cast members talked about the new setting.
Bloys spoke in-depth with Variety, revealing a handful of things alongside that update on “The White Lotus.” He also mentioned not being too interested, at the moment, concerning spinoffs for their hit emergency room drama “The Pitt,” that “Knight of The Seven Kingdoms” the latest “Game of Thrones” spinoff (based on George R.R. Martin‘s “The Hedge Knight” stories) will start airing sometime in January 2026 after the show got yanked from the 2025 schedule, and confirmed there is indeed early talk for a potential second season of “The Penguin” as Matt Reeves is a tad busy gearing up to finally shoot “The Batman Part II.”

“They’re kicking around ideas. Obviously, Matt’s got to get the [next ‘The Batman’] movie going. That is underway, I believe. So I think he and Lauren [LeFranc] are talking about ideas. So I’m hopeful that there will be another story to tell,” Bloys said of his hopefulness that a second round of episodes for the spinoff “limited series” could come together.
There was also a reflection of “The Penguin” actor Colin Farrell losing to Stephen Graham at The Emmys, “I was really hopeful. And obviously, he had won many awards leading up to that, so that’s usually a good sign. But again, you never know. Whether it’s recognized or not doesn’t affect that the performance was fantastic. But Stephen Graham, ‘Adolescence‘ was a really, really powerful show. So tough competition, and it doesn’t always break your way. For Colin, I think his performance was pretty extraordinary.”
He was asked about star and Emmy-winner Hannah Einbinder, stating that “Hacks” would be ending with the fifth season, as Bloys responded with, “We usually leave that up to the creators, so I will wait to hear from them. But obviously, we’ve had conversations about it. Ultimately, it will be their decision…Oh yeah, I will be good with their decision. But I think they’ll end up in the right place.”
Another update shared was when audiences can expect to watch the third season of “Euphoria,” “It’ll be the spring, but we don’t have a date confirmed yet.”
Plenty of great shows are on the way from HBO/HBO Max, so stay tuned as we learn more in the coming months about some of these projects.
