Warner Bros. Discovery will finally unveil its new Max streaming service, which merges HBO Max with the Discovery+ catalog, this week.
It's been years in the making, but it looks like the Warner Bros. Discovery and HBO combined streaming service will soon be unveiled, according to a report from The New York Times. The news comes two years after David Zaslav announced his plan to form a mammoth streaming service that would compete with established streaming services such as Netflix. His plan involved merging the scripted content of HBO Max with Discovery's established library of unscripted content.
There is a lot riding on the yet-to-debut streaming service. The company has had a rough year, with many projects being shelved and company layoffs shadowing the excitement over the upcoming service. Many of these cuts are in owing to the debt load taken on after the merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and HBO. Gunnar Wiedenfels, chief financial officer for Warner Bros. Discovery made it clear that the new streaming service was “one of our big, big priorities for this year.
As for what this means for existing HBO Max subscribers, well, that's still up in the air, as plans for migrating subscribers have yet to be announced. Discovery+ subscribers will maintain their Discovery+ subscriptions, as the streaming platform will remain a separate entity even after Max debuts.
