About HBO Max
HBO Max launched in 2020 as Warner Bros. Discovery's flagship streaming service, combining HBO's prestige programming with the wider Warner Bros. film and TV library. The service was renamed simply 'Max' in 2023 to de-emphasize the HBO name and broaden its positioning, but Warner Bros. Discovery reversed course in 2025, restoring the HBO Max name after the rebrand drew public criticism.
The service carries day-and-date streaming premieres for many Warner Bros. theatrical releases alongside HBO's original programming and a large catalog of Warner-owned film and TV franchises.
