Ben Barnz executive produces alongside Dunham. The series is produced by We\u2019re Not Brothers Productions and Good Thing Going Productions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDaniel and Zelda are an incredibly passionate team with true vision and authenticity, providing an inside look at the windy path many adolescents have to navigate as they come to terms with their identity and sexuality in <em>Generation<\/em>,\u201d said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZelda has a particular ability to speak to and about her generation with humor and relatability, only brought further to life by this incredible cast. We couldn\u2019t be prouder of a show to mark our first pilot to series order for HBO Max,\u201d added Kevin Reilly, chief content officer HBO Max and president of TBS, TNT and TruTV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to see myself and kids my own age represented on TV in a way that felt real, without judgment or nostalgia. I\u2019m so appreciative of my mentor and soul-sister Lena Dunham for all her support and guidance, and so thankful to HBO Max for making this crazy dream come true,\u201d said Zelda Barnz.<\/p>\n<p>Dunham added: \u201cI have fallen head over heels for this brilliant family, who have allowed their 18-year-old daughter Zelda to express herself in a way that\u2019s both effortlessly funny and plumbs the depths of the adolescent experience. Daniel\u2019s direction is sensitive and artful and as a producer, Ben is equally committed to rigor and fun. I cannot wait for people to see Zelda\u2019s brilliance come to life and to meet this insanely impressive cast of honest, powerful performers and I\u2019m so excited to be a part of the soon to be juggernaut of HBO Max.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO Max has greenlit the half-hour dramedy Generation from executive producer Lena Dunham, marking the streamer\u2019s first pilot to get a full series order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":12470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[3558,3559,3213,3560],"class_list":["post-12469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-generation","tag-good-thing-going-productions","tag-hbo-max","tag-were-not-brothers-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HBO Max Orders New Lena Dunham Series - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HBO Max Orders New Lena Dunham Series - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"HBO Max has greenlit the half-hour dramedy Generation from executive producer Lena Dunham, marking the streamer\u2019s first pilot to get a full series order.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-12-06T15:23:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/HBOMax-1219.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/\",\"name\":\"HBO Max Orders New Lena Dunham Series - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-12-06T15:23:24+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-12-06T15:23:24+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/hbo-max-orders-new-lena-dunham-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"HBO Max Orders New Lena Dunham Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
