HBO Max Is Officially Back

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Warner Bros. Discovery aims to emphasize HBO's premium and distinct storytelling after research showed users prefer it over Discovery's reality programming.

  • On July 9, 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery officially renamed the streaming service Max back to HBO Max.
  • This change follows Warner Bros. Discovery's June announcement to split into two companies to better focus on HBO Max and Warner Bros. studios separately from other cable networks.
  • The rebranding reflects HBO's stronger consumer appeal and research showing viewers prefer HBO's premium content over Discovery's reality shows.
  • WBD's streaming CEO JB Perrette emphasized that while audiences are not necessarily seeking a greater quantity of content, there is a clear demand for higher-quality programming, underscoring the company's emphasis on improving content standards.
  • The restoration of the HBO Max name aims to draw more subscribers and reposition the service amid competition, while retaining user data and subscription pricing unchanged for now.
