The new service will showcase other WarnerMedia brands like the HBO originals Game of Thrones, Sopranos, and Westworld, while also debuting new shows called Max Originals. Reese Witherspoon and Greg Berlanti (The Flash) are among the collaborators.

The company confirmed that a beta version of HBO Max will be out by the end of 2019, probably only in the USA. According to Deadline, an “ad-supported offering is also in the works, though subscription will be the first phase“.

This announcement marks the most important step of WarnerMedia in the streaming war against Netflix, since it unites not only the major brands, but also other VOD services like DC Entertainment and HBO Go, all in one place.
