Warner Bros. Discovery is gearing up for a major expansion of its Max streaming service, officially announcing that it will be available in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan starting November 19. This launch marks a significant milestone as the platform transitions from the former HBO Max, enhancing access to acclaimed content for millions of viewers.

But that's not all—Max will also roll out in several other countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, making it a powerful player in the Asian streaming market.

JB Perrette, the CEO and President of Global Streaming & Games at Warner Bros. Discovery, expressed excitement over this launch, stating, “We are thrilled to bring Max to more consumers in Asia. 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.” He added that with the successful launches in the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, Asia Pacific represents the next phase of Max's globalization, now available in over 72 markets with even more on the horizon for 2025.

While the specific pricing details for each country are yet to be revealed, viewers can expect competitive rates aimed at attracting a diverse audience.

Fans can look forward to a wealth of new content, including highly anticipated titles such as “Dune: Prophecy,” the “Game of Thrones” prequel “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” the Stephen King-inspired series “IT: Welcome to Derry,” and a new Harry Potter series. Additionally, popular returning shows like “House of the Dragon,” “The White Lotus,” and “The Last of Us” are set to delight subscribers.

In a recent Q2 investor call, CEO David Zaslav noted that the company is projecting the addition of 6 million new subscribers in the third quarter, with an impressive contribution from international expansion. Currently, WBD boasts approximately 103.3 million subscribers across Max, HBO, and Discovery+.

Mark your calendars! Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to reveal more details about the launch and pricing during their third-quarter results announcement on November 7.
