Popular content from HBO, Discovery, the DC Universe, Harry Potter, and Cartoon Network will be available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) will launch its Max streaming service across seven Asian markets next month, making the platform available in more than 72 markets. Popular content from iconic brands such as HBO, Discovery, the DC Universe, Harry Potter, and Cartoon Network will be available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong starting November 19, 2024.
The announcement comes after the company said last month it expects to add more than 6 million subscribers to its Max streaming platform in the third quarter. Warner Bros Discovery relaunched its streaming service in May 2023, with expanded programming offerings and extended Max to Europe this May. Warner Bros’ streaming service Max includes premium content from HBO, along with programs from HGTV, the Food Network, the Discovery Channel and other cable networks.
“We are thrilled to bring Max to more consumers in Asia,” said JB Perrette, CEO and president of global streaming and games at WBD. “Max brings together unparalleled quality content from iconic brands like HBO, Discovery, the DC Universe, Harry Potter, AFN, and Cartoon Network, as well as Hollywood blockbusters all in one place.”
Following earlier rollouts in North America, Latin America and Europe, the Southeast Asia launches bring Max’s reach to 72 markets. WBD says further launches in Asia are in store for 2025.
