Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has been forced to apologize for failing to properly credit writers and directors on its newly launched Max streaming service.

The super streamer, which combines HBO Max and Discovery Plus' libraries into a single entity, only made its debut on May 23. In the first 48 hours since launch, though, Max has faced numerous issues – including a glaring oversight in how writers and directors have been credited on the platform.
