HBO Max is not moving forward with the cop drama pilot “American Blue,” starring Milo Ventimiglia, according to multiple reports. Warner Bros. Television is now looking to place the project with other buyers rather than keeping it in-house at HBO Max.
Both outlets describe “American Blue” as one of two drama pilots recently commissioned by HBO Max, alongside the family drama “How to Survive Without Me.” The projects are reported to have been developed under a model tied to “The Pitt,” with HBO Max commissioning more than one pilot in the same cycle. Deadline reports there is no official update yet on whether the other pilot is proceeding, while Variety confirms only that “American Blue” is not advancing.
The main difference across the coverage is how far each outlet goes on the status of the companion project: Deadline notes no official word on “How to Survive Without Me,” while Variety focuses on confirming “American Blue” is not moving forward at HBO Max.
