HBO Max is launching on May 27, and in addition to the growing list of licensed titles that will be on offer to fans, WarnerMedia's new streaming service will also introduce some new original series and movies.

Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey will be there for you on streaming once again on May 27 when HBO Max officially launches. While the anticipated Friends cast reunion with Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc won't be available at launch date—it was never filmed due to the coronavirus spread and social distancing guidelines—it will eventually drop on the new streaming platform.

WarnerMedia is moving into the already-crowded streaming service market this May with HBO Max. The new streaming platform will combine titles from across the Warner Bros. film and TV library as well as introduce original films and series, but it will have to compete with established services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, as well as CBS All Access, Disney+, Apple TV+, and NBCUniversal's Peacock.

Dr. Dre's seminal 1992 debut The Chronic is finally on streaming services. The album hit Tidal on Sunday and debuted on Apple Music and Spotify on Monday morning. Happy 4/20.

The executives behind HBO Max gave their first real preview of the new streaming service in late 2019, announcing its $14.99 subscription cost and the May 2020 launch. HBO Max also unveiled its slate of original programming. Some shows, like Kaley Cuoco's The Flight Attendant and the Gossip Girl sequel series, had been announced previously, but WarnerMedia made a couple of surprise announcements, including a Green Lantern TV series from Arrowverse mastermind Greg Berlanti.
