HBO Max Pivots to Longer Shows With Smaller Budgets Thanks to The Pitt

According to reports, HBO Max is planning to create more shows with longer seasons (15+ episodes), lower production costs, and annual releases. Two potential projects starting with this approach are the police drama American Blue and the family drama How To Survive Without Me (currently its working title). While HBO is shifting towards this new model, they aren’t abandoning large-scale, expensive programs altogether. Shows like Lanterns, Harry Potter, and a new Game of Thrones spin-off are still in development. However, if these new police dramas perform well, similar to The Pitt, they could represent a shift towards this more streamlined approach, potentially becoming among the last HBO Max series with high budgets, shorter seasons, and long waits between releases.

How Villa Österlen Balances Communal Connection and Quiet Retreat

I recently came across Villa Österlen, and it’s just stunning! It’s a modern home in southern Sweden designed by Note Design Studio, and what I love is how it takes inspiration from the classic, long farmhouse style of the region – they call it a skånelänga. It’s built in a historically protected area, and the architects cleverly worked with the natural slope of the land and how the sun hits it. It feels both really connected to the local traditions and totally fresh and modern at the same time. It’s a beautiful blend of old and new!
