JB Perrette, the CEO and president of global streaming & games at Warner Bros. Discovery, emphasized the significance of this expansion.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese 12 countries will be followed by a few additional markets later this year, and launches in Germany, Italy and the U.K. early next year.\u00a0 Each new market further positions HBO Max as a worldwide destination for the best in entertainment,\u201d Perrette said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following these launches, HBO Max will be available in 100 markets worldwide, with plans to introduce titles from HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, and Max Originals starting this July. This diverse lineup includes highly anticipated content like \u201cA Minecraft Movie,\u201d the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series, \u201cThe Last of Us,\u201d \u201cThe White Lotus,\u201d \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d \u201cPeacemaker,\u201d and upcoming series such as \u201cTask\u201d and \u201cIT: Welcome to Derry.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to entertainment, HBO Max will offer a sports roster featuring events such as tennis tournaments, including Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, as well as cycling\u2019s Grand Tours, including the Tour de France Femmes, and major winter sports events.<\/p>\n
This expansion follows Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s decision to split into two publicly traded companies \u2014 one focused on streaming and content production, the other on traditional television \u2014 amid financial pressure, including nearly $38 billion in debt, despite growing viewership. In the first quarter of 2025, the company reported 122.3 million streaming subscribers, representing a 5.3 million increase from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ASTANA \u2014 HBO Max is set to expand its global reach with upcoming launches in Central Asia, including…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-13948","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
