Bosses At ‘Clangold’ Producer Beetz Brothers Hail Skydance For Backing Casey Bloys: “A Strong Sign The HBO Line Will Continue”

Beetz Brothers executives say Casey Bloys staying in charge of content after Skydance’s merger with Warner Bros. and Paramount is a reassuring sign that HBO’s programming approach will continue. Their comments reflect wider uncertainty among producers about how the merger will affect commissioning and opportunities.

The company’s four-part crime documentary *Clangold* launches globally on HBO Max on 13 November. It examines the 2017 theft of a 100kg Canadian gold coin from Berlin’s Bode Museum, the investigation and trial, and the convictions of members of the Remmo family. Beetz says HBO Max and Paramount+ still handle programme orders separately, though the services are expected eventually to merge; the company has also reorganised into six genre labels to focus on entertaining work with depth.
