Created by Zelda Barnza and Daniel Barnz, Generation centers on a diverse group of high school students whose fearless exploration of identity and sexuality challenges the antiquated social norms embedded in their conservative community.

Generation (Genera+ion) may not continue on for a sophomore season at HBO Max, but creator Zelda Barnz said the series achieved its goal within its short-lived airtime.
“I think its purpose was simply to exist, as something intimate and honest for queer people,” she wrote for Entertainment Weekly. “I’m grateful we got to make this show at all, because there was a great deal of uncertainty in even pitching a show about queer teenagers in such a specific setting.”
Just a day after HBO Max announced that it had opted not to renew the Lena Dunham-produced dramedy for a second season, Barnz penned her thoughts about the cancellation for Entertainment Weekly. In addition to responding to Generation‘s abrupt end, Barnz also explained the final moments of the series finale.

HBO Max has opted not to order a second season of the Lena Dunham-produced dramedy series Generation (official title style Genera+ion).

We've quickly become obsessed with Generation, HBO Max's high-school dramedy series centered on teens discovering their sexuality and identity in a conservative California town. Featuring characters we just can't get enough of, like twins Naomi and Nathan, who kind of share a boyfriend (long story), and the fun-loving, crop-top-wearing, wise-beyond-his-years Chester, Generation's writers clearly aren't scared to push boundaries - so when are we getting season two?
Generation followed a unique, progressive release schedule for season one. The first three episodes were released on HBO Max on March 11; the next two arrived March 18. Episodes six and seven arrived on March 25, and episode eight arrived on April 1. The following eight episodes of the 16-episode show were released in June, with the season one finale airing on July 8. Though we don't have an official confirmation on season two, the creators are already on board for another season.

Photo: ‘Generation’/HBO Max Even before its release, the HBO Max Original show ‘Generation’ had a highly anticipated premiere and following. For one, it gained headlines for its advertised modern view on sexuality through the lens of Gen Z teenagers, a group whose perspective hasn’t been deeply explored yet in media. But not only that; the fact that the series was created by Daniel Barnz and his nineteen-year-old daughter Zelda Barnz drew a sizable intrigue. The show was to be bold and new, melding together the perspectives of old and young – something we’ve never seen before. In particular, it was expected to rival ‘Euphoria’ as the new teen show. Months later, season one of ‘Generation’ has successfully aired, with its season finale ‘V-Day’ released just this Thursday. The sixteen-episode series is available to stream on HBO Max.

Fourteen years after Serena van der Woodsen’s iconic walk through Grand Central, HBO Max is inviting viewers back into the world of Gossip Girl via another blonde on a train. Only things are quite different this time around.
For starters, this ain’t Metro North. It’s the New York City subway system. And the woman in question isn’t a glamorous young socialite, but rather a teacher (played by Tavi Gevinson) at her wit’s end. As an educator at the now-coed Constance Billard school, Kate Keller longs for the simpler days when students respected authority and adhered to boundaries.

There have been countless series created by grown adults about teenagers over the years, but has there ever been one created by a teenager and her dad? Daniel and Zelda Barnz, the father-daughter showrunners of HBO Max’s “Generation”, represent what must be a first for dramatic programming but their frank, probing look at the lives of a group of LGBTQ+ teens and allies definitely gets plenty of help from other departments to create its sun-bathed Orange County backdrop.
Among them are music supervisors Maggie Phillips and Andrew Brady, who have the near-Herculean task of creating the tuneful soundscape for its vastly different characters. “They reached out to us because they really liked our work on [the Hulu series] “Normal People” and Daniel was our point person [on the music] because that’s his passion and we were always geeking out at how it’s all at every kid’s fingertips these days unlike...

In a strong show of collaboration, showrunners Zelda Barnz and her father Daniel Barnz teamed up to work on the HBO series “Genera+ion.” As her first job as both writer and series creator, 19-year-old Zelda Barnz was faced with an enormous learning curve that she and her father would conquer together. The show—which is often compared to its contemporary “Euphoria” but also feels a bit like “Skins”—is a look at Gen Z teens who are facing their everyday struggles of family, sexuality, gender identity, and what it means to grow up in a conservative environment.

Uly Schlesinger was drawn to the characterization in the new HBO Max teen comedy-drama “Genera+ion.” The series, in which Schlesinger plays a bisexual teen named Nathan, stems from a 19-year-old creator, Zelda Barnz and her father Daniel Barnz, which the actor credits with giving it an authentic voice. “It didn’t seem like just another teen show,” says Schlesinger in an exclusive new interview for Gold Derby. “It seemed to really be striving to tell something real, something authentic.” Watch the full interview above.
Nathan is one of many characters on “Genera+ion” who is just trying to find their way in a chaotic world. In Nathan’s case, he is starting to explore his sexuality while dealing with the pressures of conservative parents. What struck Schlesinger in the beginning was that Nathan is “a bisexual character who didn’t seem like a trope, who didn’t seem like someone who was just wavering between.

Grab your keys: HBO and HBO Max are leaning heavily into in-person drive-in events for their joint Emmy For Your Consideration campaign next month. Dubbed “HBO/HBO Max FYC Drive-In Theatre,” the pay cabler and its sister streamer will hold ten events between May 14 and May 21 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
This year’s Television Academy Emmy campaign rules focused on virtual panels and events, with one exception: Panels could also take place in a drive-in environment, as long as Covid-19 safety protocols are observed. Last week, NBCUniversal held the first drive-in screening of the season with an event for Bravo’s “Top Chef.”
In the case of the HBO/HBO Max events, Television Academy members will screen episodes and watch panel discussions about contenders while being fed and watching from their cars. Per HBO and HBO Max, “each event will have a branded red carpet photo opportunity for guests upon drive-in arrival,...

Haley Sanchez is quickly making a name for herself with her role as Greta on HBO Max's Generation. The series explores the intersecting lives of a group of teenagers who are trying to find their place in the world. For Sanchez, not only is this her first major TV project, but it's a dream she's worked her entire life to fulfill. "When I was younger, I feel like I wanted to [act], but it never seemed superpractical for me to do it - or at least that's what everybody told me," Sanchez told Popsugar. "This was this dream of mine that I was like, 'This is never going to happen.' It just seemed like an impossible thing." Rather than giving up, the 24-year-old decided to chase her dreams and "give it 100" by getting involved in theater, taking acting classes, and going on countless auditions. "I just wanted to be able...

Lena Dunham was supposed to be the voice of her generation, and her generation had some feelings about that. While it had its issues, “Girls” gave voice to a certain kind of Millennial ennui that tapped into the anxieties of a demographic that had been coddled into an extended childhood and thrust — ill-prepared and somewhat reluctantly — into adulthood during an economic recession. Dunham’s alter ego Hannah Horvath touched a lot of nerves, but even those put most on blast by her brand of neurotic entitlement couldn’t deny her particular charms: She was damn funny.
A decade later, Dunham and her producing partner Jenni Konner are attempting to do for Gen Z what “Girls” did for Millennials. Written by father/daughter duo Daniel and Zelda Barnz (who is 19) and titled with a wink to Dunham’s early moniker, “Genera+ion” follows a group of California teenagers as they explore...

Late in the premiere episode of the new HBO Max dramedy Generation, high school classmates Chester (Justice Smith) and Nathan (Uly Schlesinger) are cuddling together at the end of a very tough day for the latter. Chester promises Nathan that he’ll never feel this bad again, but Nathan is too distracted or drunk to hear the pep talk. “Will you remind me tomorrow?” he asks Chester. “It sounds like something I’d want to remember.”

Every new teen drama wants to be the one that actually, finally Gets It. They can range from the extremely earnest to the flashy and forbidden, but all strive to capture that vulnerable slice of life between childhood and adulthood when everything burns a little too bright, a little too quickly.
“Generation” — aka “Genera+ion,” with a plus sign instead of a plain ol’ “t” as a nod to the + in LGBTQ+ — is TV’s latest stab at honestly portraying teenagers. Premiering March 11 on HBO Max, the series at least has the distinction of being co-created by a particularly unusual team: Zelda Barnz, a teenager herself at 19, and her father, Daniel Barnz, who also directs. Together, they’ve made a frenetic show about Gen Z that aims for something between Gen X’s “Freaks and Geeks” and millennial cornerstone “Skins,” though without the shaggy charm and piercing twists that respectively made those series so compelling.

What better way to connect to today’s youths than to have one of their very own as a co-creator?
That’s what inspired Daniel Barnz and Ben Barnz, the married creative duo behind Jennifer Aniston’s 2014 film “Cake” and 2008’s early-career Elle Fanning starrer “Phoebe in Wonderland.” In the past, Daniel typically served as writer and director, while Ben produced most of their work. But for their new HBO Max series “Generation,” they’ve added a third collaborator: 18-year-old daughter Zelda Barnz.
The Barnz family was on hand to discuss the new project as part of HBO Max’s session of the 2021 TCA Winter Press Tour, and they were joined by a fresh-faced cast of relative newcomers. The idea for a half-hour high school drama that addressed gender and sexuality in a frank and contemporary way came out of Zelda’s stories from her own life.

HBO Max released a trailer for the Lena Dunham-produced teen dramedy “Generation” on Thursday.

“Generation” was created by “Cake” director Daniel Barnz and his 18-year-old daughter Zelda Barnz, with the elder Barnz’s partner, Ben Barnz, also executive producing.
The ensemble cast, led by “Detective Pikachu” star Justice Smith, includes Nathanya Alexander, Chloe East, Nava Mau, Lukita Maxwell, Haley Sanchez, Uly Schlesinger, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Chase Sui Wonders and Martha Plimpton.

With HBO Max’s “Generation” joining HBO’s “We Are Who We Are” and “Euphoria” on the WarnerMedia-owned streaming service, the overall HBO brand is looking a lot more youth-focused these days.
Speaking virtually from the all-remote Television Critics Assn. winter press tour, head of HBO and HBO Max programming Casey Bloys told Variety that that wasn’t part of some “grand plan” to attract younger viewers.
“What was interesting is ‘Euphoria’ was done at HBO before [HBO] Max, before I took over both,” he said. “It was a kind of realization that even at HBO… you have to kind of keep reinventing what an HBO show could do. And so this one was probably the youngest star we’ve ever had for an HBO show. But essentially it is a show about the struggle with addiction that happened to be set in high school, but it’s a really weighty and serious topic.

From executive producers Daniel Barnz, Zelda Barnz and Ben Barnz, Generation is the new kid on the HBO Max block. The new series may deal with the authentic lives of the modern teenager, from social media to sexuality and gender identity, but Generation is no Euphoria, said star Justice Smith.
“These are all very different stories,” he said during HBO Max’s leg of the Ctam press tour on Wednesday. “We’re in a new zeitgeist now where we’re accurately depicting adolescence what life is like.”
Inspired by Zelda’s high school experiences, Generation is a dark yet playful show that follows a group of high school students whose exploration of modern sexuality tests deeply entrenched beliefs about life, love and the nature of family in their conservative community. Like Smith, Daniel Barnz said that Generation differs from the Sam Levinson-created series in a number of ways, including its format.

HBO Max’s Generation is a true family affair.
The high school-set dramedy started a few years ago after Zelda Barnz, now 19, came out as queer to her fathers, Ben and Daniel Barnz. With their son, Dashiell, having come out in seventh grade, the now fully queer family’s dinner conversations quickly evolved and the first seeds of Generation were born.

The forthcoming HBO Max show “Generation” (styled “Genera+ion”) — created by 19-year-old Zelda Barnz and her father Daniel Barnz, and executive produced by Lena Dunham — is touting itself as an ultra-realistic look at high school life.
Unfortunately, last Thursday, “Generation” took verisimilitude too far. In a scene set in a biology class, the production used actual dead cats for the actors to dissect. A tweet on Friday by @Lilith_Rosex said: “Got word from a friend in the industry, HBO has a new show called Generation coming out. It’s produced by Lena Dunham and earlier this week they brought in real dead kittens for background to ‘dissect’ on set. No warning, people had trauma responses.”
The person went on to tweet that a camera man had tested positive for Covid-19: “As a cherry on top of their traumatic experience, at the wrap of day two they were informed...
