What Price Streaming? For Newest Players Like HBO Max, It’s Not A Simple Equation

And with that, a new streaming platform has entered the ring. HBO Max finally launched after the much-talked-about announcement that they’ll soon release the anticipated Snyder Cut of “Justice League,” “Friends,” every Studio Ghibli movie, and thousands of other titles.

Laura Benanti and HBO Max will give high school students from around the chance to perform in a pandemic-proof musical with the newly announced special “Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020.”

What would Phoebe say? Lisa Kudrow is one of the many to subscribe to HBO Max, but Friends is a series that’s not on her radar.

HBO Max is officially the future home of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” aka The Snyder Cut. The film (TV miniseries?) is expected to arrive in 2021 and has been described by the filmmaker as a massive redo of the superhero film that flopped at the box office and failed to excite fans back in 2017.

One thing that’s instantly striking about HBO Max’s rom-com anthology series “Love Life” is the exacting period detail for each year of the 2010s it depicts. When the show declares an episode is set in 2012, the iPhones and text messages actually look like they did in that exact year.

The TARDIS has found a new home. If you're looking to binge Doctor Who -- whether it's your first time or your 500th — you can now find the series on HBO Max.

Now that WarnerMedia's new streaming service has officially launched, we can finally start counting down the days until every episode of South Park becomes available to stream. Last year, HBO Max announced that every episode of South Park will live on the platform as of June 24. It will also stream episodes of the next three seasons of the long-running comedy 24 hours after they air on Comedy Central, which has been South Park's home for the previous 23 seasons.

WarnerMedia officially enters the streaming wars with the launch of its platform, HBO Max, which includes 10,000 hours worth of content thanks to a mix of originals — an Amy Schumer docuseries, Anna Kendrick’s, the reality competition series — and a deep library of fan favorites, such as and, as well as all of HBO’s award-winning series. 

Drew Dixon, 50, is one of the central voices who appears in HBO Max’s new powerful documentary, On The Record. The former Def Jam executive is one of several women to have publicly accused hip-hop music pioneer, Russell Simmons, 62, of sexual assault.

John Stankey, the current leader of WarnerMedia and set to be come CEO of telcom giant AT&T on July 1, on Wednesday laid out a road map for how the telecom and media conglomerate will weather the economic storm caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic. "The big question incumbent on all of us is what this climb out of this hole looks like and what kind of dynamics occur in the second half of this year," Stankey told the J.P.

The Friends reunion was postponed indefinitely when the Coronavirus pandemic hit America, and the stars of the show – Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer – were unable to come together to tape the special as planned.

A starry group came together for a meeting at Courteney Cox’s Malibu beach house on Oct. 5, 2019. Had the papa­razzi gotten wind, pandemonium would have surely ensued.

The highly anticipated “Friends” reunion that was pushed back due to the coronavirus may finally grace fans’ screens by the end of the summer. Like countless ongoing film and TV productions, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the unscripted “Friends” reunion being produced for HBO Max to be pushed back.
