This apparent aversion to flooding its schedule with teen-skewing shows becomes more noticeable when you look at HBO’s big hits in recent years: “Chernobyl,” “Succession,” “Mare of Easttown,” “The White Lotus,” “The Undoing,” “The Righteous Gemstones,” all of whose protagonists generally fit into that “30-49” demographic.Īnd that’s before we even mention the ongoing success of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” with its 74-year-old lead, and upcoming period drama “The Gilded Age” created by Julian “Downton Abbey” Fellowes – himself a mere 72.
