Discovery is the parent company of both Max and Warner Bros.

Lim is set to executive produce, write and serve as showrunner on the Warner Bros.

Since Murray died in 2020, there would be no way to know if HBO would have taken a different course had he sued “Last Week Tonight” while the show’s parent company, WarnerMedia, was negotiating the 2022 merger that created Warner Bros.

It may feel bleak, but “Sinners” was a leap of faith for Warner Bros. that paid off immensely.

To put the achievement into perspective, Warner Bros. has only co-produced and distributed an entirely original, non-biographical film that wasn’t a sequel to an existing property or simultaneously plopped onto streaming, three times in the last five years.
