HBO has survived plenty, are people forgetting GoT is the biggest, but not the only production by HBO that was popular?
The Wire
Deadwood
Rome
True Blood
Boardwalk Empire
Band of Brothers
Generation Kill
True Detective
Barry
Chernobyl
His Dark Materials
Watchmen
Silicon Valley
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Westworld

Hopefully HBO follows through on this eventually.

Barry is one of the greatest shows on television, westworld season 2 was pretty meh but it still has a huge following. HBO now has a lot more interesting shit on it then Netflix currently imo.
Same way they have been going for years now. Make more shows. GoT has like 5 spin-offs in production anyway.
That's such a ridiculous headline I assumed it was a joke. HBO still make consistently the best TV of any network. AT&T may try and fuck with that, yes, but HBO's model has worked for years and I don't see how GoT ending is such a cause for concern. Rome is one of my all time FAVOURITE shows, so it's not as if they're unable to create more great stuff.
They'll probably be fine, at least for a while yet, but I do wonder how many HBO Go subscribers they lost in the last 24 hours.
I've only seen the first episode of this, but it was really good. I was surprised that they got a lot of the details right.
By pushing all their current and new shows in the beginning AND end of the GoT series finale, so far as excluding a talkback to do so.
It won't be enough, and they will definitely see a huge decrease.
I can't see a show like this being possible on any platform that wasn't HBO. Everything would be sanitized or simplified down.
Is the show a true retelling? Not exactly, but it's damn close, and reality has been shown time and time again, to be far stranger and far more horrifying than fiction.
I thought this was just a documentary sort of thing using recently recovered footage from the memphis belle propaganda pic from ww2
At&t isn't changing how hbo works, only internal stuff is changing and HBO is/will be part of WarnerMedla but that's it
Also yeah, dumbest headline of the year so far, sounds like soneone who didn't know about HBO before GoT wrote it or whatever
HBO will be just fine. Even if they had nothing else of note besides Game of Thrones (which they do, of course), they are already working on at least one spinoff series.
It might not reach the same peaks, but there are always people who will want to know more and see more of the story.
I'm sure they'll be fine

The Leftovers
Lindelof's involvement is a big part of why I'm optimistic for Watchmen
They do realize that the reason HBO could make such a high production show was because they were already a massively popular network right?

how I feel when no-one has mentioned that one show yet
Game of Thrones had fucking six episodes for its finale and almost a two year gap between this and the last season compared to the annual nature of the prior ones. I'm pretty sure HBO can survive if it didn't collapse in that span of time as is, like it has for so long already. Fucking clickbait articles cropping up the stupidest non-concerns for overhyped franchises.
Game of Thronesier 2: The Gamening.
Highly recommend anyone with an HBO subscription check out Barry.
Ooh, didn't know this was a thing.
New hype source.
Perhaps fix the HBO site first?
It's ridiculous how badly their streaming-site functions, especially considering how many viewers they get for GoT and others so it's about time their site was up to the same standard as Netflix which works pretty much flawlessly and smoothly.
TRUE DETECTIVE SEASONS 4-99999999
LET'S GO PIZZATELLO
I'm sure they'll do fine, but I really am curious as to what the next big thing is gonna be, like Thrones was now and Sopranos was before that
HBO won't go away anytime soon. They might have to change their subscription methods or some details about how you get access, but as a whole, they're staying around for a long time.
They're a cash cow for whoever owns them and they're a "Prestige" Brand meaning that anyone investing in them is happy to own a piece of them because it's a nice bragging right. Weird how that kind of shit ever matters.
