Warner Bros. Discovery is gearing up to take your streaming game to the next level with the launch of Max on 19 November. Viewers in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia โ including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, The Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand โ can finally get excited for a new all-in-one platform. Max promises to deliver a massive library packed with everything from blockbuster Hollywood franchises to critically acclaimed HBO Originals, all wrapped in anย easy-to-navigate interface designed to make streaming a breeze.
Max is crashing into the streaming game with a content lineup so stacked, youโll wonder how you ever lived without it. Fans of Game of Thrones can dive back into Westerosi intrigue with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, while Harry Potter enthusiasts have a brand-new TV series to look forward to. And for those craving more fire-breathing chaos, the next season of House of the Dragon promises even more dragon-fuelled drama.
When it comes to movies, Max knows exactly how to deliver the goods as well. Blockbusters like Dune: Part Two, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire are on the horizon, bringing big-screen thrills straight to your living room. For those seeking a nostalgic binge, youโll find comfort in classics like Friends, The White Lotus, or yet another dive into the entire Harry Potter collection โ because some stories never get old.
But Max isnโt just about scripted drama โ itโs packed with real-life entertainment to keep things fresh. Look out for fan-favourite shows from TLC, Discovery, Food Network, and HGTV, letting you switch from Deadliest Catch to redesigning your space with Property Brothers โ all without leaving the couch.
It’s set to launch with two subscription tiers tailored to different streaming styles. The Standard Plan offers Full HD streaming on two devices at once โ perfect for your average binge sessions. But if youโre all about that next-level viewing, the Ultimate Plan delivers 4K UHD resolution, Dolby Atmos sound, and streaming on up to four devices simultaneously. Ideal for households where screen time is serious business (or for anyone who insists on premium everything).
While exact pricing is still under wraps, more details are on the way. Subscriptions will be available via Max.com and regional partners, making it easy for viewers across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia to dive into the action the moment the service drops.
Launching across 72 markets (and counting!), Max isnโt just looking to be another streaming option โ itโs shaping up to be the ultimate hub for premium entertainment, tailored to fit the wildly diverse tastes of a global audience.
As James Gibbons, President of Warner Bros. Discovery, APAC, puts it: ‘Max is where blockbuster moments and real-life stories come together.’ย For viewers in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, that means a content library packed with everything from Barbie and Selena + Chef to the DC Universe and Property Brothers.
The highly anticipated launch drops on 19 November, giving everyone the perfect excuse to grab snacks, create profiles, and jump headfirst into a world of non-stop entertainment. With such an epic lineup, Max promises to deliver big-screen thrills, reality TV drama, and everything in between โ perfect for those who take their binge-watching very seriously.
