WarnerMedia has made it official: Its upcoming, direct-to-consumer streaming service will be titled HBO Max, and will launch sometime in 2020 with “the best-of-the-best” from WarnerMedia’s vast library (Friends, Fresh Prince, etc.) as well as an “extensive collection of exclusive original programming” (Gremlins prequel, Dune, etc).
“HBO Max will bring together the diverse riches of WarnerMedia to create programming and user experiences not seen before in a streaming platform,” said Robert Greenblatt, chairman, WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-To-Consumer, in a statement.
Still unknown: HBO Max’s exact launch date and price tag.
Additionally, Greg Berlanti has inked a deal to deliver “four movies focused in the young adult space,” while Reese Witherspoon will produce at least two films for the streamer.
