Add Discovery and HBO and you get: Max.Â
At least, that’s what executives from Warner Bros. Discovery are hoping. The entertainment conglomerate confirmed that it is merging and rebranding its two streaming services, HBO Max and Discovery+, as one mega service called “Max.”Â
“This is our rendezvous with destiny,” WBD CEO David Zaslav said at a press event Wednesday unveiling the new Max service, which launches May 23. “It’s the place that every member of the household to go to see whatever they want at any given time,” he added, noting that it will have shows that range from the high profile, prestige HBO programming like “The Last of Us” to Discovery’s unscripted content like “Property Brothers.”
