Overview
- Puck’s report, published Friday, says George Miller is actively pitching a final Mad Max motion picture and a television series to multiple studios and streamers.
- Warner Bros. — which distributed the previous five Mad Max films — declined to finance the new film and TV proposals, according to industry coverage.
- Amazon, Universal, and Sony are reported to have shown interest in backing Miller’s projects, but no studio has been confirmed and no release dates exist.
- Miller’s 2024 prequel Furiosa grossed about $174 million on an estimated $168 million budget and is widely cited as a financial reason Warner passed on further heavy franchise spending.
- Miller reportedly owns the Mad Max rights, has a script titled The Wasteland linked to the project, and intends to complete these works before selling the property, which would affect who controls future stories and production plans.
