HBO Max Acquires Catching Out from Writer Nic Sheff

The drama that serves as an exploration of a youth subculture fell into a competitive situation before the upcoming streamer closed the deal.

In addition to creating the controversial Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, Yorkey also won the Tony and Pulitzer for Broadway’s Next to Normal. Sheff worked with Yorkey as a co-producer, writer and story editor on 13 Reasons Why, and he was played by Timothée Chalamet in the film Beautiful Boy, which chronicled his addiction struggle in a movie that combined Nic’s memoir, Tweak, with the one written by his father David Sheff, which was titled Beautiful Boy.
