Close to a year after TVWise first reported that such a move was in the works, HBO has officially come on-board BBC One's drama series The Cormoran Strike Mysteries, an adaptation of the Strike novels by JK Rowling (published under the pen name Robert Galbraith), and will serve as the U.S. and Canadian broadcaster. HBO and Keshet International are teaming up for an as-yet untitled drama series about the disappearance of three Israeli teens, TVWise has learned. "We’re excited to work with Keshet and this extremely talented and creative group led by Hagai Levi", said HBO's President of Programming Casey Bloys. "We look forward to sharing this important story with our subscribers.” HBO is re-teaming with Jay and Mark Duplass. The network has green-lit Room 104, a new scripted anthology comedy series from the two brothers, who were behind the premium cabler's critically acclaimed but ultimately short-lived comedy series Togetherness, TVWise has learned. 
A mere two episodes into the show's second season, HBO has renewed their Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson fronted comedy series Ballers for a third run.
