HBO is drawing attention from Netflix

The common denominator between these three leading works is that they are all shown on the “HBO” site. With this, “HBO” has stolen the lead from other platforms led by “Netflix”.

However, no matter how diverse the series titles and producers are, it is certain that the different broadcasting platforms are still the stars of the entertainment and television industry until further notice. An announcement by screenwriters who have been on strike for nearly 3 months demanding a pay rise from major production studios. About 160,000 actors, along with writers, put the fate of film and television productions up in the air.

In the eye of the storm, the date of the 75th edition of the Emmy Awards ceremony, scheduled for September 18, also stands. Reports suggest that it could be pushed back to November, while Hollywood sources have not ruled out that the date could be pushed back to early 2024 due to the ongoing strike.
