George Miller Shops Final Mad Max Film and TV Series After Warner Bros. Passes

Reported studio meetings show companies weighing the franchise’s commercial risk, with Miller seeking to finish the story and then sell the rights.

Overview

  • George Miller is actively pitching a package that would include one last Mad Max theatrical film followed by a companion television series, with the intention of selling the franchise afterward.
  • Multiple outlets report Warner Bros. declined to finance the projects, leaving Miller to meet other studios for financing and distribution.
  • Amazon, Universal and Sony have been named as potential suitors, but no studio has signed a deal and the effort is described as early-stage.
  • The studios’ caution is tied to Furiosa’s weak box-office performance, which grossed roughly $174–175 million worldwide against a reported ~$168 million budget and failed to deliver clear profits.
  • Key creative and casting details remain unresolved—Tom Hardy’s return is uncertain—and Miller reportedly has existing material such as The Wasteland that could form the basis of the new projects.
