Touting 142 Emmy Noms, Casey Bloys Talks ‘Penguin' and ‘White Lotus' Futures, ‘Duster' Demise, HBO Max Re-Re-Brand
The Primetime Emmy nominations arms race shifted back in HBO and HBO Max's favor on Tuesday morning, with the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned platform's historically dominant slate commanding 142 nominations across 23 originals. With particularly strong showings for limited series The Penguin (24), drama The White Lotus (23) and comedy Hacks (14), HBO and HBO Max content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys hopped on the phone to dig into some of the surprises (two nominations for the outgoing Somebody Somewhere), smaller showings (House of the Dragon) and offer up some updates on a slew of nominated originals (The Penguin, The White Lotus, The Pitt) and 2025 offerings like the new season of The Gilded Age and the upcoming The Chair Company. He also had a very humble response to the suggestion of playing himself in a future season of Apple TV+'s The Studio. More from The Hollywood Reporter Cristin Milioti, First-Time Emmy Nominee for 'The Penguin,' is "Ready to Get in There Again" Critics' Conversation: 2025 Emmy Nominations Take a Typically Shallow Dive Into TV's Best Harrison Ford, Aimee Lou Wood and Cooper Koch Among First-Time Emmy Nominees in Acting Categories made a remarkably strong showing in the nominations. I assume there's an appetite for more on your end? We get that question a lot. (Laughs.) I will say that I know that [showrunner] Lauren [LeFranc] has ideas. I know that she and Matt [Reeves] have spoken about it. I also know that Matt is working on the movie [The Batman Part II], so I don't have any updates. There is absolutely interest, appetite and excitement. I can't say for sure, because there's a lot to think about and a lot to do, but we'd certainly be excited if we could figure it out. What's the lesson from a smaller show like finally breaking through in this third and final season? The show is heartwarming and getting the recognition is heartwarming. And, look, we still have the ability to champion a show. I will say, as producers, they were incredibly responsible. It was done at a budget where we were able to continue to say yes to it. That was very important. Not only are they great at writing, but they were also really smart producers. They made it easy for us. I was just speaking with producer John Wells about how much more onus is now on the producers to budget in ways to can keep a show on the air. That is John's expertise. There's nobody better, and The Pitt is a great reflection of what he and Scott [Gemmill] and Noah [Wyle] are able to do. It was a really great creative validation that a show made in that format was able to break through, because it's not easy what they're doing. They're setting out to say to do 15 episodes and deliver it on an annual basis. Some of our own shows are seven to eight episodes, and they take 18 months or two years between seasons. The fact that season two [of The Pitt] is in production now and will come out in January, that's a great story for us. It's a great story for television. A show that will not be coming out a year after its most recent season is , which had another huge showing in the nominations today. What was your reaction to the call from Mike White announcing that he'd be taping a season of before getting into season four of ? Here's what I will say about Mike: He is the kind of guy who does a lot of thinking in his head. So when he comes to us with an idea, it is fully fleshed out. His first drafts are almost what we shoot. Not to say that we don't go through the process, but he has it so worked out in his head. I'm not worried about him. I may be worried about him physically with whatever challenges in Fiji, but I'm not worried about the process for The White Lotus. If anything, it's probably invigorating creatively for him to be doing this. Whenever he comes back, we'll hear what he's thinking. I already have an idea of what the season is going to be. Then he'll start scouting. That's obviously a big part of the process for him, understanding the physical location. He'll get inspired by that. So I hope he does well on Survivor, but I'm not worried about season four of The White Lotus at all. Have there been additional talks on location, though? Do you feel like you're close? No. He's kind of said, 'Generally Europe.' But until he actually goes and scouts, I have no idea, It could change just based on if he gets inspired by one location versus another … one hotel versus another. So even if I told you, 'Oh, it's going to be in this country,' he could see a hotel in a completely other country and just love it. We'll take his lead on that. You pulled the lever on HBO Max last week, yet there's some lingering 'Max' labeling in today's nominations. How soon before that's completely uniform? The branding on the platform is complete. It's HBO Max. I like having the flexibility with The Pitt as a Max Original to do something that maybe you wouldn't see on HBO. It gives us a lot more flexibility to try something. And before The Pitt came out, I would say this is kind of an experiment. It's something that maybe you would've seen on a network or basic cable channel before. Let's try something like that. Calling it a Max Original just gives us a little room to play. But I'm glad that we are back to HBO Max. I think it's here to stay. And I'm glad we did all that before today. I'm probably showing my own ignorance, but season two of , for example, will not be called an HBO Max Original… It will still be a Max Original. The other's a little bit of a mouthful, so we just decided to stick with Max Originals. But it's all on HBO Max. was obviously well-represented in the nominations but in smaller numbers. I realize air dates and delays never help these things, but what's the takeaway there? You can't take anything for granted with the Emmys. Because you were nominated one season doesn't mean you're going to be nominated another season. I think sometimes where you air on the calendar can make a difference. How long ago you've aired can make a difference. You never really know. But again, the nominations are a great validation of what everybody's doing. But is not the reason why we're doing it. We're excited and believe in all of the shows whether they got nominated or not. The was bonkers. What did you learn from working on such a short timetable? Jesse [Armstrong] had a story he wanted to get out there. It was incredibly timely. I think it was a great creative challenge in the same way that The White Lotus was during COVID. They were shooting in one location, basically in a bubble. And he wanted to get it out there. Also being the first thing that Jesse directed, I think it was helpful to be on an accelerated schedule. Creatively and performance-wise, how are you feeling about season three of ? I feel great. You saw the reviews, which were really, really good. And the ratings. We are reporting live plus three instead of night of, but it's up I want to say 20 percent over the last season? That is unusual for a drama to come back and be up. Sometimes you'll see a more natural erosion as there's other things to watch. You're always fighting that on returning shows. To see a show, a drama, be up 20 percent is really, really encouraging. Anecdotally, I feel that show has benefited a great deal from word of mouth. I feel the same. I can sometimes tell when we're airing something and I'll get unsolicited calls or emails saying, 'Oh, I love this season.' And I'm getting a lot of that. Again, anecdotal and not scientific, but I think it's encouraging. Can you tell me about the relatively ? It's never fun to make those decisions, but a show has to perform —and perform relative to its budget, as fun as the show was. And I think they did a great job. Josh Holloway is a star and this confirmed that. But I always say a show has a job to do. It's got to get either great reviews, great numbers, a lot of buzz. Hopefully all of it. As much as we loved the show and wanted it to do well, it never really hit one of those metrics. I don't know that I got clarity on this in . Is Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia still going to report to you or do they go with the other cable networks? No, unfortunately it will go with [the SpinCo]. Because it is a cable net, it is going to go with the global networks — which is a bummer. I had a lot of fun with that. Would you consider a guest appearance on season two? I don't think I have a high enough profile or the acting skills, to be honest. (Laughs.) OK, before I let you go, I need to know when is coming out. October. It's great. You're going to love it.

Cristin Milioti, First-Time Emmy Nominee for ‘The Penguin,' Is 'Ready to Get in There Again'
It's a good day to be Cristin Milioti. The actress snagged an Emmy nomination for her work opposite (fellow nominee) Colin Farrell on the HBO Max and DC series The Penguin, which snagged a total of 24 nominations across a wide variety of creative categories. (See the full list of nominations here.) Milioti also is a part of the Black Mirror family, and the Netflix limited series received 10 nominations this morning. Hot on the heels of the reveal, Milioti got on the phone with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss her first Emmy nomination, why she's been on so many planes as of late and how playing the inimitable force that is Sofia Falcone has influenced what's next. How are you feeling? More from The Hollywood Reporter Shane Gillis' ESPYs Monologue Wasn't Great - But Not for the Reasons You Think Netflix's Most Viewed Series for 2025's First Half Is ... Not 'Squid Game' Netflix's Ted Sarandos Says AI Will Make Movies and TV "Better, Not Just Cheaper" I feel really good, it's so nice. I feel so thrilled for our show. You never know how these things are going to go, and I'm so blown away by the amount of nominations we have and that so many members of our incredible crew got nominated. I'm also really thrilled to see the nominations for Black Mirror as well. It's a good day for the Cristin Milioti universe. The amount of nominations for is so impressive at 24 and across so many creative categories. Did any nomination jump out to you in terms of someone you worked closely with or someone who went above and beyond? [Creator/showrunner] Lauren LeFranc and [director] Helen Shaver. Lauren's writing is unbelievable as is Helen's direction, especially. We worked together on the Sofia-centric episode that covered Sofia's whole backstory. I love Helen immensely. It's so hard to choose because our hair and makeup team, editors, so many people got nominated and it's so, so exciting. Have you texted with or talked to Colin Farrell? I texted him to say that I am so proud of him and I love him to bits because to know him is to love him. I remember when the Sofia episode debuted, there was an immediate conversation happening on Reddit and across social media about how you deserved an Emmy for your work. Did you pay attention to that swirl and how do you approach tuning it out or taking it in? For my own brain, I stay far away from the internet as a rule, but I've had a lot of extremely meaningful interactions with both people inside of our industry and outside about how much the episode affected them. That episode certainly affected me just by working on it. It's one of my favorite things that I've been a part of. I felt the energy around it, whether it was through interviews or literally talking to people on the street in my neighborhood. It's rare when the feeling you have about something is matched by the world. It's been so overwhelming and I'm so grateful for it. You've also had a lot of interactions with fellow actors and been in a lot of new rooms over these past few months. Who's the coolest person you've met or what's the most meaningful conversation you've had with a fellow artist? Oh my gosh, this has been overwhelming — in the best way. I've had a really lovely talks with Kathy Bates and Jodie Foster. I've had chats with both that have been so mind-blowingly meaningful to me as someone who worships their work. That's been pretty incredible. You got cast in a pilot, , opposite Elizabeth Olsen. Is that done filming? We wrapped that, but I'm going to go start work on a movie next week. I have been on a lot of planes lately. How did the pilot go? The premise is so interesting, about a woman who starts communicating with a voice no one else can hear that leads to the unraveling of her family. It was great. What a fabulous group. And the movie, has that been announced yet? I don't think it's been announced yet. But it's a very exciting, strange movie that I find both scary and moving. Speaking of movies, there were a lot of articles published this morning about what a win 's nominations are for DC and for comic book adaptations in general. As a member of the DC family, have you seen ? I have not seen the new Superman yet, but again, I've been on a lot of plane rides recently. I'm going to get over there [to the theater] eventually. I can imagine that a role like Sofia has impacted how you want to move forward as an actress or how much you want to push yourself? It made me want to push myself further, and it also really spoiled me. There was so much that I got to do on this show that I've been waiting to do and wishing to do, and it was an extraordinary experience. The fact that I got to do that and explore with people I got to explore with has certainly made me more exacting because I'm trying to experience more of that, at least to the best of my ability with the little amount of control that someone has as an actor. But I'm looking for roles and collaborators like the ones we had on The Penguin. I want to get in there again.
