HBO Max To Be Replaced With New Service That Adds Discovery Plus
Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav made the announcement during an earnings call on Aug.
4.
Warner Bros Discocery is the parent company of HBO and Cinemax,
... the two channels that comprise the
HBO Max streaming platform.
HBO Max has been known to have streaming issues during appointment episodes of major series such as 'Succession' and 'Euphoria.'
During the earnings call, Zaslov touted the
enhanced technology of the Discovery Plus platform.
The new platform will be a combination of the content from HBO Max and Discovery Plus.
The combination will then rely upon the tech stack of Discovery Plus.
Zaslav expressed excitement about the new platform.
Zaslov's announcement comes in the wake of the removal of some major content from HBO Max.
The removal of the upcoming 'Batgirl' from the streaming calendar had some users of the platform feeling anxious.
Zaslav sought to allay those fears, touting the brand of
HBO Max as one synonymous with quality content.
The new iteration
of the platform is
set for debut in the
summer of 2023.
'Curb Your Enthusiasm' has captured the attention of Georgia's Secretary of State. The season premiere of the final season of the HBO comedy featured Larry David being arrested for violating Georgia's election integrity law for giving his friend Leon Black's aunt a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote on a hot day in Atlanta. He's now facing a looming trial on the series. The storyline must have made its way to the state capitol, because last month Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, sent a letter to David addressing the plotline about the 2021 voting law.

Filming for 'Euphoria' season three has been put on hold. The Sam Levinson drama was expected to start production soon on its long-awaited new season, but production has hit pause on those plans. The timeline on production has now been pushed back to give Levinson more time to work on the dark teen drama's scripts. In addition, the show's cast — which stars Zendaya and an all-star cast including Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi — is being allowed to pursue other opportunities.
