HBO Max (rebranding to Max) is a subscription video on demand streaming service from WarnerMedia Entertainment. It is part of AT&T's WarnerMedia. The service was launched on May 27, 2020.

HBO Max is based on WarnerMedia's HBO premium TV service. It includes all of its programming including movies and television shows made by Warner Bros., as well as television channels that it owns such as CNN, Cartoon Network, TBS, and Turner Classic Movies (TCM).

In mid-to-late 2023, HBO Max started rebranding to the name "Max" (stylized as "max").[2][3] Many people did not like this change, and Max began losing subscribers.[4]
