HBO Max Picks Up J.J. Abrams' New "Reality-Bending Adventure" Series SUBJECT TO CHANGE

HBO Max has picked up J.J. Abrams’ upcoming drama series titled Subject to Change, and they’ve given it a series order. Jennifer Yale (Da Vinci’s Demon, Legion, Outlander) is set to serve as showrunner on the project from Warner Bros. Television and Abrams’ Bad Robot.

The story for the series follows “a desperate college student who signs up for a clinical trial that is the starting point for a reality-bending adventure.” That’s all we’ve got to go off of now, but I’m looking forward to it!

Abrams said in a statement, “It’s been incredible fun weaving this rather insane yarn with Jenn, and I am grateful to her and everyone at HBO Max for the opportunity to bring this story to life.”

Yale added, “I have felt so privileged to work with J.J. and Bad Robot on expanding J.J.’s exhilarating story to create a twisty, thought-provoking thriller where almost anything is possible and yet everything is planned. Now partnering with HBO Max to make it a reality is a dream.”

HBO Max head of content Sarah Aubrey added, “We cannot wait to bring this complex, eye-opening thriller to HBO Max. It will take viewers on an unexpected ride, showcasing the creative brilliance of J.J., Jennifer and the Bad Robot team.”

Abrams was always great with developing series, and it’ll be interesting to see what he and Yale have cooked up for this one.
