HBO Max Launches European Scriptwriting Program

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

HBO Max has selected 12 European writers for its new Script Engine program, a development initiative designed to foster original series with local roots. The program aims to provide these writers with the opportunity to pitch their concepts directly to HBO Max.

The program will be mentored by veteran showrunner Frank Spotnitz, known for his work on 'The X-Files' and 'The Man in the High Castle'. Spotnitz will guide the selected writers through the development process.

The 12 writers will work to develop original series concepts, culminating in pitches to HBO Max in November. The initiative is intended to help create locally-rooted series for the streaming platform, expanding its international content offerings.
