HBO Max and Discovery Plus will become one new service starting next year
A new application revealed the boss of Warner Bros. Discovery
The CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery , David Zaslav revealed during a call with investors that HBO Max and Discovery Plus will merge and become one new service in the summer of 2023.
Read David Zaslav’s statements:
HBO Max has a competitive feature set, but has had performance and customer issues.
He went on to say that Discovery Plus has better technology and will become the core of the new service, which will combine HBO Max content with that of Discovery Plus.
” We think this product is going to be great ,” he said, assuring investors that they’re not going to focus on canceling projects already slated for HBO Max. And this, as you can understand, he said to reassure them, as a few days ago the Batgirl film , which was expected to premiere on HBO Max, was canceled, while just yesterday we learned that the Supergirl film will probably be canceled as well .
Zaslav tried to allay those fears during the call and insisted that HBO Max’s programming overall was good and supported by the company. In addition, during a Q&A, Zaslav answered some questions and said among other things that HBO Max has started to become a big brand in itself that is associated with quality.
At the moment, we don’t know what this new service will be called, but it will definitely bring more content, since two big services will be merged.
