HBO Max Greenlights Paris Medical Drama After 'The Pitt' Success

HBO Max is expanding its global content strategy with a new medical drama set in Paris, titled "Rush" (working title). This move follows the critical acclaim and success of the Emmy-winning medical drama "The Pitt." The new series aims to replicate the global appeal of its predecessor.

The French production was unveiled at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival, signaling HBO Max's commitment to international storytelling. The company's content chief, Sarah Aubrey, has previously expressed a desire to replicate "The Pitt's" success worldwide, with France now being one of the initial markets for this expansion.
