HBO Continues Inexplicable Partnership with J.K. Rowling by Debuting 'C.B. Strike' Season 6 Trailer

HBO seems to be doubling down on its support for highly controversial author J.K. Rowling, who has committed herself to the contentious cause of spreading anti-trans sentiment virtually every time she makes a public statement, which many have condemned as transphobic. But if this is the hill that she has chosen to die on, it doesn't mean that major Hollywood corporations need to continue their (presumably lucrative) partnerships with her. And no, just because she also goes by the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, it doesn't give HBO a pass. The cable network has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming sixth season of the crime drama series C.B. Strike, in addition to revealing its premiere date. The show is based on Rowling's "Cormoran Strike" detective novels, which she writes as Galbraith.
