Australia is getting a new streamer in April after Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it’s officially launching the HBO streaming service Max locally.
According to Warner Bros. Discovery’s press release, Max will have “a range of subscription tiers, including premium, standard and an ad-supported tier.”
The move was telegraphed midway through last year and now it’s official. It appears the future of Foxtel’s Binge streaming platform, which has included HBO content, is also looking clearer. The second season of The Last of Us will air exclusively on Max when it begins airing on 14 April.
It’s not all doom and gloom for Foxtel subscribers, as they’ll get launch access to the ad-supported tier of Max at no extra cost. However, it’s not clear how long the launch access will last or whether Binge subscribers are included. The official announcement specifies that “a compatible Foxtel IQ box” is required to access the launch promotion.
All of that doesn’t bode well for Binge, which hinges heavily on HBO’s library of TV shows.
Per the announcement, “further details about subscription tiers, pricing, content and product features on Max will be shared in the weeks prior to launch.”
More to come.
