Casey Bloys, co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance Direct-To-Consumer, will receive the Milestone Award at the 38th Annual Producers Guild Awards, the 2027 edition of the ceremony. The honor recognizes creatives who have made significant contributions to the entertainment industry. The awards are set for Feb. 27 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
In his current role, Bloys oversees original programming for HBO Max and Paramount+ and leads strategy, operations, communications and performance across the company’s streaming platforms. He became president of HBO in 2016 and led development and production of series including “Succession,” “Euphoria,” “Barry,” “Girls,” “The Pitt,” “The White Lotus,” “The Last of Us,” “House of the Dragon,” “DTF St. Louis” and the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.”
Under his leadership, HBO and HBO Max original television programs received 21 Emmys in the past year, and seven of his original series averaged 15 million U.S. viewers per episode across platforms.
“Receiving the Milestone Award is an incredible honor, particularly from an organization that represents so many of the people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside throughout my career,” Bloys said. “I’ve always believed our job is to create an environment where talented people can take risks, tell ambitious stories and do their best work. I’m enormously grateful to the Producers Guild for this recognition and to all of the producers, storytellers and colleagues who have been part of that journey.”
Producers Guild of America presidents Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah praised Bloys’ tenure. “Considering Hollywood’s recent history, no one is more deserving of the Milestone Award than Casey Bloys. Over the last decade, Casey has had a front row seat to all the disruption and consolidation facing our industry. All the while he has remained a true and steadfast champion of the creative process,” they said. “He is a friend to producers, writers, actors and everyone who has dedicated their lives and careers to entertainment. Casey and his talented team help shepherd television that shapes our culture, stands the test of time and protects the originality of storytellers.”
Past Milestone Award recipients include Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing, James Cameron, Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, Jason Blum, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy. Mike Farah and Joe Farrell are event chairs for the 2027 Producers Guild Awards.
