HBO Max passes on Milo Ventimiglia cop drama pilot "American Blue"; Warner Bros. TV shops it elsewhere

HBO Max will not proceed with "American Blue," a cop drama pilot starring Milo Ventimiglia, per a 13 August 2026 Deadline exclusive. Warner Bros. Television is now shopping the project — written by Jeremy Carver, directed by David Ayer — to other buyers. The window for a pilot finding a new home is narrow and the outcome uncertain.
