The comment was made during Sky\u2019s panel at this year\u2019s Edinburgh TV Festival, where\u00a0Jamie Morris, Sky\u2019s director of programs for the UK and Ireland, said: \u201cOur relationship with HBO continues to go from strength to strength.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve had a great year. The HBO slate is great and they\u2019re creative co-production partners with us. One way or the other that relationship will continue. In what shape, we will wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sky has had a deal to distribute HBO\u2019s shows since 2014, but there has been speculation that this could come to an end in the future due to the rollout of streaming service HBO Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n The service is not currently available in the UK, and its rollout into other territories has been paused following parent company Warner Bros\u2019 merger with Discovery, as they intend to merge HBO Max and Discovery Plus into one service.<\/p> With the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon proving hugely popular amongst fans of the original show, it\u2019s no surprise Sky would want the deal to continue.<\/p>\n In fact, the first episode of the fantasy epic proved so popular globally that some viewers in the US complained that the HBO Max app crashed after its debut<\/a>. Other HBO content to have aired on sky in recent months has included Westworld<\/a>, Euphoria<\/a> and Succession<\/a>.<\/p>\n House of the Dragon continues on Monday 29th August exclusively on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW \u2013 <\/strong>sign up for Sky TV her<\/a>e<\/a>.
