And there you have it: Warner Bros. Discovery is turning HBO Max into Max. At a press event today (April 12) that began at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. BST / 4 a.m. AEDT), we saw how HBO Max will become Max, and gain a lot of content from Discovery Plus — another root of the WBD tree.

Yes, it's just Max. Like Cinemax, if you remember that. The Max streaming service will house and stream content that stretches across a very wide range. Much like how rival Netflix has everything from Stranger Things to Love Is Blind, Max will try and be everything to everyone.
