A dog grooming competition show for HBO Max is so weird that it just might work.
Variety is reporting that HBO Max has added another show to its line up, and it might sound barking mad, but it just might work.
Hot Dog (working title) will be a 12-episode, half-hour series that will feature three dogs competing in a “full head-to-tail creative competition.”
Three different dog groomers will compete in “imaginative challenges” with “out-of-the-box themes” to construct creative looks for their canines. The winning groomer in each episode will receive a cash prize.

According to Variety, Hot Dog has been inspired by the book Groomed by celebrity dog grooming expert Jess Rona, and the social media platforms of the author. If her Instagram is any indication, this show is going to be absolutely adorable!
Hot Dog is being developed by Nicolle Yaron, who is the executive producer of Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman’s Making It series. She has also worked in production on The Voice.
The show will feature celebrity guests, and Rona will serve on the judging panel. Many different dog breeds will be competitors in the series.
HBO Max will launch in May, combining Warner Brothers content with the already stacked slate at HBO.
Tons of exciting content has already been announced for the streaming service, including a Gossip Girl revival, a Friends reunion (when they’re eventually able to film it), the J.J. Abrams helmed Justice League Dark and The Shining spinoff, adaptations from Julie Plec and Greg Berlanti, and so much more.
