Just as Uncut Gems makes its way to Netflix, filmmakers Benny and Josh Safdie and Elara Pictures (which the duo created with longtime collaborators Sebastian Bear-McClard and Ronald Bronstein back in 2014) manage to nab a two-year first-look deal with HBO, per Variety. A24, which has already produced Euphoria for the prestigious network as well as Ramy for Hulu and Netflix’s John Mulaney And The Sack Lunch Bunch, will executive produce all projects that fall under the deal. HBO made the announcement today, though it did not specify which productions it’ll pursue first.
