After many rumors, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed what many feared. HBO Max, the acclaimed streaming service has its days numbered. This is so as it will merge with Discovery to become a completely new streaming service.
According to JB Perrette, CEO and President of Warner Bros. Discovery, the merger of HBO Max and Discovery+ will debut in the United States in the summer of 2023. It will be in the fall of 2023 when it begins to be available in Latin America.
An important point is that this new streaming service will have different payment plans. To begin with, it will have a paid version without ads like the one we currently know; however, it will also seek to reach more customers by offering a free version that generates revenue through commercials. There will also be a cheaper version that will also have ads.
