Game of Thrones creators' controversial Confederate series would be dead if they landed a new deal outside of HBO

Deadline

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are expected to land on a big streaming network with a new overall deal. "Any place that they end up at would be lucky to have them,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys told Deadline at the TV press tour. “I want talent to make as much money as they can.” As for the controversial alt-history series Confederate, he says, “I think anything they have with us would likely not go forward" if they sign a deal elsewhere.
