HBO Max and WBD Access, the company’s talent development division, have announced the return of their writers’ program for a second year at Series Mania Institute.

Now titled Script Engine, the program is “designed to identify and support the development of mid‑level screenwriters to create original, locally rooted series,” according to a press release. Following a successful inaugural program last year, its second run aims to “focus on writers with demonstrable connection to France, Spain, Italy and Germany, offering a structured development pathway aligned with HBO Max’s strategic ambitions for original storytelling across Europe.”
