Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and other related brands, as well as a slate of original series under the Max Originals banner.
HBO Max, combined with HBO and Discovery+, had 92.1 million subscribers by the second quarter of 2022 (via Variety) and it’s often named among the top streaming services to which you can subscribe.
HBO Max is the streaming home for multi-award-winning HBO series like The Last Of Us, based on the video game of the same name.
