HBO Max streaming service to launch in May - Geeko

A newcomer is about to enter the streaming services market. With more than 10,000 hours of programs announced, content in shambles and new exclusive productions, HBO Max may well overshadow the behemoths that are Netflix and Disney +, despite its subscription costing $ 15 per month (13 , 90 euros).

An XXL catalog

Headed by WarnerMedia, the new streaming service is indeed attractive since it brings together HBO content as well as that produced by Warner, which includes, among others, DC Entertainment, the CW Television Network and Adult Swim.

In other words, the HBO Max catalog will bring together both HBO series like Game of Thrones, Watchmen, WestWorld, Sex and the City, The Sopranos and those of Warner, namely Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, Rick and Morty , but above all the essential Friends .

The special episode bringing together the six New York friends must also be broadcast exclusively on the platform. Unfortunately, he will be a little late due to the coronavirus epidemic.

The streaming platform will also count many films, including the Lord of the Rings and Matrix trilogies , the Gremlins , Harry Potter , as well as all of the DC films and series; Doom Patrol, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman , etc.

Exclusive content

There is also talk of original and exclusive content. When it launches, HBO Max will offer the film Love Life , a comedy with Anna Kendrick, and the documentary On the Record . HBO ensures that new exclusive content will be offered regularly on the streaming platform. JJ Abrams should also be in charge of several productions. What justify the 15 dollars subscription.

A rate much higher than that of Disney + and its monthly subscription at 6.99 dollars (6.50 euros) only, but HBO has reason to be confident. Indeed, it already offers this rate on its other video-on-demand services that are HBO Go and HBO Now, which each have a catalog less well supplied than its future service and yet, they each have several million subscribers .
