“The Penguin” and “Dune: Prophecy” will premiere as HBO Originals and stream on Max as part of a strategy shift by Warner Bros. Discovery, an individual familiar with the matter told TheWrap.
The move comes after the company recently turned three Max originals – “Harry Potter,” the DC series “Lanterns,” and the “IT” prequel “Welcome to Derry” – into HBO originals.
When the strategy shift was first unveiled in June, HBO’s chief content officer Casey Bloys was unsure whether “The Penguin” and “Dune: Prophecy would be able to make the switch due to the international licensing process for the titles already underway.
