End of the secret: HBO Max will become another service in 2023

After much speculation and controversy, it has been announced that HBO Max and Discovery + will join together to form a new streaming platform in 2023.

Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that the merger of the waterways will take place between June and September in the United States, which corresponds to summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Other regions, such as Brazil, will follow the change soon after.

Thus ends HBO Max, a streaming service born in mid-2020 and arrived in Brazil a year later, with the mission of competing with platforms such as Netflix and Disney +, with a catalog consisting of HBO titles, Warner Bros. and other WarnerMedia brands such as Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, as well as original content such as “Pacificador”, “Nossa Bandeira é a Morte” and “Hacks”.

On the other hand, Discovery + debuted in the United States in early 2021, arriving in Brazil months later, as the venue for exclusive programs on the Discovery channel network.

The merger between the two streaming services has been in the public domain since March of this year, but the plans were not yet well defined and there was no date to come true.

We now have a more precise plan for how this will happen. According to The Wrap, during the budget meeting that took place on Thursday, Warner Bros. Discovery revealed that HBO Max and Discovery + will arrive in the United States first, between June and September 2023, and will be followed by Latin America, where it will arrive in September and December 2023. Finally, the service arrives in other markets around the world in 2024.

“The unmatched depth and breadth of Warner Bros. Discovery’s content gives us the opportunity to offer something for everyone,” said JB Perrette, CEO and President of Global and Interactive Streaming, of the Warner Bros. Discovery (via The Wrap). “Providing consumers with a variety of entertainment options will maximize our reach and financial returns.”

So far, no name has been announced for the new streaming service that will merge HBO Max and Discovery +, nor a specific date, pricing and plans, or how migrating users from the two services to the new one will work.
