    • ‘Game of Thrones’ showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss were supposed to do three new ‘Star Wars’ movies. They’ve now bailed on that, likely for a variety of reasons.

    • WarnerMedia’s HBO Max arrives in May 2020 at $15 a month, the exact same price as a current HBO Now subscription. The service will have tons of content, but will it be enough to pull in new subscribers?

    • Apple TV+ is here and the reviews for the first shows aren’t so hot, but they’ve probably got enough big-name talent to still draw curious viewers.
