HBO Max is changing its name to “Max,” but the lineup is still jam-packed with programming, from animation and fiction to reality TV and DIY.

The rebranding has begun, with Warner Bros. Discovery officially announcing that it plans to rebrand its HBO Max video streaming platform to simply “Max” later this month. And once it changes, Max will offer the same selection of shows and movies as HBO Max, along with several “Discovery favorites.”
How this will affect current HBO Max subscribers was left a bit vague in the announcement, though the Max website does offer some clarification. All HBO Max members will keep their current subscriptions, but they will automatically be migrated over to Max at launch. Folks who get HBO (but not HBO Max) through a cable or satellite provider may also be able to migrate over, but you'll have to do some legwork to make sure.
On the programming side of the change, Max subscribers will get access to Discovery brands like Discovery (obviously), TLC, HDTV, Food Network, etc., in addition to Warner Bros. offerings like Cartoon Network, Turner Library, Adult Swim, etc. And it’ll all be available on the same platforms and devices as HBO Max.
