In the latest news for tv fans, Sky and American premium cable network HBO have come together in a $250 million co-production agreement, that will result in a collaboration for years to come. With Sky Atlantic recently airing HBO programmes such as Game of Thrones, The Leftovers and Big Little Lies, there has already been a relationship between the networks, but this agreement promises to generate more content for subscribers.
According to Jeremy Darroch, Group CEO of Sky, "HBO and Sky have for many years shared a common creative culture and a common vision for the development of high quality drama. This new venture deepens that relationship, maintains our leadership position in world-class content, provides great opportunities for indies and gives our customers even more opportunity to enjoy brilliant story telling."
With the new agreement, at least two new projects will be available each year, starting next year in 2018.
