Earlier this week, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that starting May 23, it will merge HBO Max and Discovery+ into a single streaming app called Max.
This is WBD’s attempt to emulate the one-stop convenience of Netflix, the latter of which seemingly offers everything under the sun, from “Love is Blind” (the low-hanging fruit of a crass reality series) to the elegantly outrageous dark comedy “Beef” (which fits snugly into the prestige category) to everything in between.
WBD is looking to offer a similar variety on one streaming platform: that means all the Discovery staples — home improvement and true crime — along with the ambitious shows HBO is known for. Plus Warners’ extensive TV and film library (which includes TCM).
