Casey Bloys to Receive the Milestone Award at 2027 PGAs

The newly minted co-chair and chief content officer, Skydance Direct-to-Consumer, who's spent the last decade running HBO, will receive the Milestone Award at the 38th annual Producers Guild Awards.

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) has announced that Casey Bloys, the newly instated co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance Direct-To-Consumer, will be honored with the Milestone Award at the 38th annual Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, February 27, 2027, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

The PGA’s Milestone Award is meant to honor individuals or teams who have made historic contributions to the entertainment industry. Past recipients include Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing, James Cameron, Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, Charles D. King, Dana Walden, and Jason Blum.

“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,” said recently elected PGA presidents Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah in an official statement. “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. While Casey is never one to seek the spotlight, the Producers Guild of America is proud to recognize the breadth and depth of his exceptional career with the Milestone Award.”

“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,” said Bloys in his own statement. “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.”

In his new role at Skydance, Bloys oversees all original programming for HBO Max and Paramount+ in addition to strategy, operations, communications, and performance across the company’s streaming platforms.

Since becoming President of HBO in 2016, Bloys has led the development and production of award-winning and critically acclaimed series like “Succession,” “Euphoria,” “Barry,” “Girls,” “Veep,” “Insecure,” “Mare of Easttown,” “Big Little Lies,” “The Pitt,” “The White Lotus,” and many more. That has resulted in HBO and HBO Max’s original television programs receiving 21 Emmys across eight original programs this past year, as well as several other industry awards. Seven of Bloys’ current original series also saw cross-platform audiences averaging a milestone number of more than 15 million U.S. viewers per episode.
