We look forward to working closely with HBO to bring this important story to Sky Atlantic.” ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Tony-Maglio.png?fit=53%2C58&quality=80&ssl=1) ## [Tony Maglio](https://www.thewrap.com/author/tony-maglio/) TV Editor • tony.maglio@thewrap.com • Twitter: @tonymaglio ## Comments ## Latest Magazine Issue [![View magazine issue](https://i0.wp.com/www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/FINAL_FC_OW_DTW_021926_rev2-scaled.jpg?fit=250%2C300&quality=89&ssl=1)](https://view.flipdocs.com/?ID=10004691_248854) ## TheWrap - [About Us](https://www.thewrap.com/about-us/) - [Advertise](https://www.thewrap.com/advertise-us/) - [Contact](https://www.thewrap.com/contact/) - [Careers](https://www.thewrap.com/jobs/) - [Masthead](https://www.thewrap.com/masthead/) - [Newsletters](https://www.thewrap.com/newsletters/) - [WrapBook](https://www.thewrap.com/the-wrapbook-art-of-cinema-issue-3/) ## Wrap Pro - [Subscribe](https://www.thewrap.com/join-pro/) - [Team Plan](https://www.thewrap.com/join-pro/) - [Learn More](https://www.thewrap.com/join-pro/ "Learn more about becoming a member") ## Legal - [Terms of Service](https://www.thewrap.com/terms-of-service-wrappro/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.thewrap.com/privacy-policy/) - [AdChoices](https://youradchoices.com/) ## Wrap Magazine - [Cannes](https://www.thewrap.com/canneswrap-magazines/) - [College](https://www.thewrap.com/collegewrap-magazines/) - [Emmys](https://www.thewrap.com/emmywrap-magazines/) - [Oscars](https://www.thewrap.com/oscarwrap/) - [Advertise With Us](https://www.thewrap.com/advertise-us/) ## Follow Us - [Visit The Wrap on facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thewrap) - [Visit The Wrap on twitter](https://www.twitter.com/thewrap) - [Visit The Wrap on instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thewrap) - [Visit The Wrap on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/thewrap) © Copyright 2026 TheWrap
