Since its launch last year, HBO Max has only been available in North and Latin America, but that’s going to change pretty soon. The popular streaming service is finally launching in Europe, but what can we expect from its global extension?

HBO Max will become available in Europe on October 26th, but it will only be available in six European territories following its launch. It will debut in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, and Andorra, while the rest of Europe will have to wait.

Despite the fact it will only be available to new and existing customers of HBO España and HBO Nordic, this is a historic moment for this streaming service, according to Johannes Larcher, head of HBO Max International.  

“WarnerMedia movies and series are passionately consumed by fans all across Europe, and HBO Max has been created to provide them with the most intuitive and convenient viewing experience to watch these and a diverse range of other amazing titles,” said Larcher in a statement.

HBO Max’s rollout is expected to continue in other European countries throughout 2022, but the launch date is yet to be announced. This streaming service serves as a content hub for WarnerMedia’s various film and television properties, and its original programming currently includes critically acclaimed shows The Flight Attendant and Hacks.
