Max (streaming service)
Max, formally known as HBO Max in the United States, is an American subscription video on demand streaming service from Warner Bros. Global Streaming and Interactive Entertainment, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery. It launched in the U.S. on May 27, 2020, as HBO Max.
Since the April 2022 merger of WarnerMedia with Discovery, Inc. to form Warner Bros. Discovery, Max is one of the combined company's two flagship streaming services, the other being Discovery+ (which primarily focuses on factual programming from the Discovery brands).
Tom and Jerry in New York, Jellystone!, Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs, and Velma are considered HBO Max Originals.
In reference to the changes fans did not like about the character of Velma in Velma, the official teaser trailer has the character (voiced by Mindy Kaling) make an angry social media post directly to HBO Max in regards to their new origin story for Judy Jetson.
On April 12, 2023, it was announced that a new streaming service called Max will replace HBO Max on May 23, 2023 as a part of the merger between that service and Discovery+. The company ultimately chose to retain Discovery+, however, and went on with an associated revamp of HBO Max that launched first in the U.S. on May 23, 2023, simplifying the service name into Max and adding more Discovery content among other new series and films.
