The Producers Guild of America named Casey Bloys the recipient of its Milestone Award for 2027. Bloys currently serves as co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance Direct-to-Consumer. He will receive the distinction at the guild’s 38th annual awards ceremony, which takes place on February 27.
The award recognizes individuals or teams that have made historic contributions to the industry. Guild presidents Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah issued a statement regarding the selection. They noted that Bloys has observed the disruption and consolidation in Hollywood over the last decade while remaining a champion of the creative process.
Gigliotti and Farah described Bloys as a friend to producers, writers, and actors. They credited him and his team with guiding television that shapes culture and protects original storytelling. The executives stated that the guild is proud to recognize the depth of his career, even though Bloys rarely seeks the spotlight.
Bloys assumed the role of head of HBO in 2016. During his tenure, HBO and HBO Max released several Emmy-winning and critically acclaimed series. These productions include Succession, Big Little Lies, Euphoria, Insecure, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us. Before leading the network, he oversaw comedy development at HBO and helped launch shows such as Veep, Girls, and Enlightened.
The Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery expanded Bloys' responsibilities. He now oversees Paramount+ in addition to his existing duties. His role now encompasses the content libraries and streaming platforms of both former entities.
Bloys accepted the honor in a written response. He called the award an incredible distinction from an organization representing many of his career colleagues. He stated that his job is to create an environment where talented people can take risks and tell ambitious stories. He expressed gratitude to the guild and to the producers and storytellers who have been part of his professional journey.
Recent Milestone Award recipients in the 2020s include Jason Blum, Dana Walden, Charles D. King, Mike De Luca, and Pam Abdy. George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and Ted Sarandos also received the award during this period.
