Sky Studios CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz has said there is “no scenario” in which its pay-tv customers will not have access to content from Warner Bros. Discovery streamer Max when it launches in the UK.
Sky has been the sole home of HBO content in the UK for many years, but it is widely expected Wbd will move the content to its own streamer when their current output deal ends in 2025. Wbd has not officially set a date for a UK launch, but senior exec J.B. Perrette said earlier this year it would “crazy” not to go direct-to-consumer in the UK.
With that backdrop, speculation has been rampant about what the future of the Sky-Wbd partnership will look like, with both sides making positive noises about an agreement without clearly outlining what shape it could take.

Für sein nächstes Projekt ist Steven Spielberg noch auf der Suche nach dem Hauptdarsteller. Angeblich gehört Oscarpreisträger Colin Firth („The King’s Speech – Die Rede des Königs“) nun zum engeren Kreis des noch unbetitelten Projekts. Bereits im Mai wurde bekannt, dass Emily Blunt die weibliche Hauptrolle spielen soll. Dies wäre die erste Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Britin, die unlängst für „Oppenheimer“ eine Oscarnominierung erhielt, und Spielberg. Auch mit Firth hat der dreifache Oscarpreisträger noch nicht gearbeitet. Firth ist aktuell mit den Serien „Young Sherlock“ und „Lockerbie“ beschäftigt.
Die Idee zum Projekt kommt vom Kinomagier himself, sein langjähriger Weggefährte David Koepp soll das Drehbuch schreiben, so Deadline. Um was es geht, ist natürlich streng geheim. Produktionell aufgestellt wird das Projekt bei Amblin und Universal.

Colin Firth is in early talks to join Emily Blunt in Steven Spielberg’s next film.
It’s unclear who the Oscar-winning actor will play or what the movie is even about, though it has been described as an “event film,” and the fact that is has been slated to open in the summer of 2026 suggests it will be a return to the kind of blockbusters that made Spielberg a household name. Otherwise, mums the word on what on screen action awaits. Spielberg cooked up the story and David Koepp, who wrote “Jurassic Park” and the first “Mission: Impossible,” penned the script. Universal will release the film, which is produced by Spielberg’s company, Amblin.
Firth is set to appear in “Lockerbie,” a Peacock series about the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, as well as “Young Sherlock,” a Prime Video series about the famous detective’s early years from Guy Ritchie.

Set dressers organized the scene by setting props in a field for a TV drama about the aftermath of the bombing in Lockerbie starring Colin Firth in Bathgate, Scotland, last week.
The miniseries Lockerbie examines the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The bombing took 270 lives: 259 of them were on the flight and 11 lives were lost as the wreckage damaged their homes.
Props were set up to look like the aftermath of the bombing. The crew is carrying the parts of the plane parts including seats and parts of a wing.
In 2016, Firth sat down with uInterview to talk about relating to his character, Bill Haydon, in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
When asked about his connection to the character, Firth exclusively told uInterview that, “[Haydon] handles things with great authority and great aplomb, and I’m not saying I am capable of doing that, but I do find those things attractive.
