EXCLUSIVE: Max Hollman, a rising star drama executive at HBO, has left the premium cable network to join Middle Child Pictures, the film and TV company launched recently by David Bernad (The White Lotus, Jury Duty). Hollman will continue to work with HBO as he sets off to run television for Middle Child Pictures as Producer/Executive through a first-look TV deal the company has signed with HBO and A24.
Under that pact, HBO will get first crack at Middle Child Pictures’ TV development, with A24 serving as the studio on projects that the network takes in. For shows that don’t go to HBO, A24 can come on board and sell them elsewhere.
Hollman, who started his career as an assistant in the television department at CAA, had been at HBO for almost eight years, rising from assistant to coordinator, manager, director and, most recently, VP, drama programming. During his tenure, he worked on such series as Succession, House of the Dragon, Euphoria, Industry, Irma Vep, Watchmen and My Brilliant Friend.
Bernad and Hollman have a lot in common. Both of them hail from Washington D.C. where they went to rival high schools years apart. And both of their careers have been closely associated with HBO. Through his collaboration with Mike White, which goes back 18 years, Bernad has executive produced White’s HBO series Enlightened and now The White Lotus, as well as recent HBO limited series White House Plumbers.
However, the duo’s paths had not crossed until Bernad’s agents at CAA suggested Hollman for the TV executive job at his new company. Bernad, who already had met with a number of candidates, had heard great things about the young HBO executive and the two quickly hit it off.
