[ad_1] There’s no certainty that Plepler’s outfit will produce giant hits for Apple. While he led HBO through a 28-year tenure that includes the likes of Game of Thrones, Six Feet Under and The Sopranos, he wasn’t the artistic mastermind behind those shows.

HBO Max will launch in May 2020 with ‘curated by humans’ push
