Potential Premiere Date
While no exact premiere date has been confirmed, there are a few potential scenarios to consider:
Spring 2022: If the series was planned to slot into the same time slot as Game of Thrones, April or May could be a plausible start date. April 2023: Considering the oft-cited line about a 'much bigger emphasis on streaming,' a 2023 release seems more likely, especially if it is meant to fit into the current programming lineup on HBO Max.The studio hasn't officially announced the date, leaving many fans speculating and eagerly awaiting official word.
