Streaming services HBO Max and Discovery+ will become one in 2023

HBO Max and Discovery +

HBO Max debuted this year in the Netherlands, but starting next year there have already been major changes to the program. Discovery+ is part of the same parent company as HBO Max and thus follows the decision to unite both services. This news comes from David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, when announcing New quarterly numbers. And of course, the combined service should make a bigger grip against competitors like Disney+ and Netflix.

It is not yet known what the consequences of the merger will be on customers of Discovery+ and HBO Max in the Netherlands. In the US, there will be a transition period next year where customers will be able to watch all Discovery+ content on HBO Max and vice versa. In 2024, services will also be integrated in the Netherlands.

Then there is the issue of the discount for HBO Max customers in the Netherlands.

Androidworld has asked HBO Max for a response and we’ll update this article as it comes in.
