Several anticipated HBO shows seem to be sitting in limbo. Season 3 of How to with John Wilson was said to be coming December 2022, but that came and went and there’s been no news. With all the internal shakeups and changing priorities behind the scenes at WBD, seems like the release calendar has been completely scrapped and is being reworked with whatever guidance the executives have put forth. Just hoping it isn’t studio brass low key purging the series slate. Feels like they haven’t promoted Perry Mason season two much at all, for example.

Normally Perry Mason would have taken the Sunday slot, when there was a schedule gap. For season 2 It feels like the show is lost in the shuffle between The Last Of Us and Succession.

I guess that either The White House Plummers or the True Detective revival will be the next major Sunday headliner series after that.

The Idol will be the next one after Succession.

Apparently not. Latest news it’s premiering at Cannes and coming to HBO in the fall

Cannes will be around the time when Succession ends. I suppose it'll have the Cannes premiere and then will be aired on tv a couple of weeks later.

Dang I thought I was going insane when season 3 of John Wilson never came, I could've sworn it was right around the corner at one point and then suddenly I couldn't find any information at all. Really looking forward to that, hopefully these Discovery imbeciles aren't messing around with it

It’s also that networks and streamers are currently withholding content in case the writer’s strike actually occurs (current agreement expires May 1st; negotiations start today).

So I didn't hallucinate this? Good to know I'm not crazy lol, I swore I read it would be coming then but couldn't find anything to confirm it.

I think the WBD shakeups are certainly a big factor here but there are other things at play. There's an impending writer's strike that will likely mean a huge hole in every network/streamer's schedule around this time next year, especially if it stretches on into months, so I kind of get the impression some outlets are starting to ration their finished shows a bit. Also last year there was a huge dump of shows in the spring and a lot of them got lost in the shuffle, perhaps they don't want a repeat of that as it's already starting to get pretty crowded with content over the next month or two.

If I had to bet, I'd say white House Plumbers comes on end of April/early May in the Monday slot after Perry Mason ends. Succession/Barry will be on Sundays through the end of May and there's no reason for them to double up on Monday shows too. Being halfway through Succession/Barry and ending with a promo for a star-studded show premiering the next night seems like good marketing to me.
