HBO Max is my new favourite streaming service – it's just a shame it could be dead within a year

Quick Summary

HBO Max launched in the UK earlier this year, but if the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery merger is approved, there's a danger that it could be combined with Paramount+.

That could even come in the next 12 months.

There was a lot of hype and excitement around the launch of HBO Max in the UK, and for good reason. Having been a major player in the US and several other regions for years, the streaming service arrived in Britain with a bang.
