“Our No. 1 goal is having extraordinary content for everyone in the family, and the HBO Max programming mix we are so excited to unveil on May 27 will bear that out,” Bob Greenblatt, chairman, WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-to-Consumer, said via statement. “Even in the midst of this unprecedented pandemic, the all-star teams behind every aspect of HBO Max will deliver a platform and a robust slate of content that is varied, of the highest quality, and second to none.”
To lead-up to HBO Max’s launch, WarnerMedia dropped around 500 hours of free HBO content in the U.S., which will be available through April 30. Ten original series including “Veep,” “Barry,” “Big Little Lies” and “Silicon Valley” are included in the lineup.
