- JJ Abrams. A year into his nine-figure megadeal with WarnerMedia, Abrams’ Bad Robot banner has already mapped out three new series for top studio priority HBO Max: Justice League Dark, Overlook (i.e., the hotel from Stephen King’s The Shining) and the original crime drama Duster.
- Jesse Armstrong. Last seen remotely accepting big Emmy wins for outstanding drama and drama writing from an aesthetically problematic hotel room across the pond, the Succession creator now has to contend with even bigger expectations for his darkly comic HBO series’ third season.

- Jesse Armstrong. Still the proverbial toast of the town, Armstrong is three-for-three with Emmy wins for drama writing for Succession. In September, he also earned bragging rights for the second time when he took home the genre’s top prize.
