There’s another one on the hour! Following Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Paramount+ and Canal+ Series, a new streaming platform will officially come to France: Max. Since its launch in the United States in 2020, we have known a while ago that the service known as HBO Max would be coming to France.
But the real question was when this would happen. Some specific features of the French legislation, starting with the media chronology, delayed the arrival of the platform for justified reasons. Meanwhile the service died to be reborn better under the name Max. It is a product resulting from the merger of HBO Max and Discovery +.
Max will arrive in France before Paris Olympics
Good news for those waiting for Max. Warner’s head of global publishing, JB Perrette, used the Series Mania TV festival in Lille to confirm Max’s launch window in France. According to the details of the framework, deployment will begin in many European countries as of May 21, 2024. As for our country; It will be presented before the start of the Paris Olympic Games, scheduled for July 2024.
JB Perrette gave some details about the proposal in his speech. Specifically, it confirmed that users will be able to choose between: three formulas:
- a basic package including advertising and HD definition
- HD ad-free Standard package
- Ad-free Premium package in 4K UHD
As for the prices, unfortunately you will have to wait.. Also note that Max needs to set up mechanisms to prevent account sharing like Netflix and Disney+. This was also confirmed by David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery.
A solid catalog that will stand out
Hoping to find a place in the already crowded streaming market, Max will be able to rely on a solid catalog. Rightly so, all HBO series will already be available on the platform, a brand that often resonates as a guarantee of quality. Therefore we can find classics from the American channel on Max Band of Brothers, Succession, The Sopranos, True Detective, The Last of Us, The Wireeven integral game of Thrones.
About George R. Martin’s world, Max revealed on Thursday, March 21 The first trailers for the highly anticipated season 2 of House of The Dragon (seen above). It’s obviously a show that will only air on the platform. 16 June (Possible arrival date of Max?). A strong argument that may push some to subscribe. They won’t be deprived of many iconic movies like moviegoers. Blade Runner, epic Matrix, Shining or Heat Written by Michael Mann.
To attract French audiences, Max will present several special local productions, such as the TV series A Devoted Friend starring Laure Calamy. Sport will also be at the center of the offer, as Max will also broadcast content from the Eurosport channel (one of the official broadcasters of the Olympic events).
