Casey Bloys Tapped for Producers Guild Milestone Award

The Producers Guild of America has named Casey Bloys the recipient of its Milestone Award for 2027. Bloys, co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance Direct-to-Consumer, will receive the honor at the guild’s 38th annual awards on Feb. 27. The Milestone Award honors people or teams who have made “historic contributions” to the industry. “Considering Hollywood’s recent history, no one is more deserving of the Milestone Award than Casey Bloys, PGA presidents Donna Gigliotti and Mike Farah said in a statement. “Over the last decade, Casey has had a front row seat to all the disruption and consolidation facing our industry. All the while he has remained a true and steadfast champion of the creative process. He is a friend to producers, writers, actors and everyone who has dedicated their lives and careers to entertainment. Casey and his talented team help shepherd television that shapes our culture, stands the test of time, and protects the originality of storytellers. While Casey is never one to seek the spotlight, the Producers Guild of America is proud to recognize the breadth and depth of his exceptional career with the Milestone Award.” Bloys became head of HBO in 2016. In the past decade, HBO and HBO Max have debuted series including Succession, Big Little Lies, Euphoria, Insecure, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and a number of other Emmy-winning and critically acclaimed shows. Prior to that, he led comedy development at HBO and had a hand in launching shows like Veep, Girls and Enlightened. With Skydance’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, Bloys added Paramount+ to his purview. “Receiving the Milestone Award is an incredible honor, particularly from an organization that represents so many of the people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside throughout my career,” said Bloys. “I’ve always believed our job is to create an environment where talented people can take risks, tell ambitious stories and do their best work. I’m enormously grateful to the Producers Guild for this recognition and to all of the producers, storytellers and colleagues who have been part of that journey.” Milestone Award recipients in the 2020s have been Jason Blum, Dana Walden, Charles D. King, Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, and Ted Sarandos.
