That changes today. WarnerMedia has now unveiled its name for the service and plans for the release. We even get to know the exciting shows that will come to the streaming service — most of them, as expected, exclusive to the streaming service.
It all starts with the name, according to a recent press release. The streaming service will be called HBO Max, with the intention to offer a “Maximized” experience. There will be a number of “Max Originals”, along with the service becoming the exclusive home to Warner Bros. Studios content.
As for the release, WarmerMedia is looking at spring 2020. No exact date or even month has been shared yet, and it isn’t clear if this will be a U.S. only release or if there are plans to release everything internationally. Due to international licensing rights, outside the U.S. may get the streaming platform but with some exclusions in programming, similar to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streaming services.
So, what’s coming to the service? There’s so much to explore.
