HBO to emphasize original programming on Monday nights

The New York Times

The Deuce and limited series Chernobyl and Catherine the Great will be part of HBO's primetime expansion to Monday nights. HBO needs a new night of the week since it will have 50% more hours of orginal programming in 2019, compared to 2018. "There’s obviously only so many Sundays in a year," says HBO programming president Casey Bloys.
