The US pay-TV broadcaster HBO (Home Box Office) is known for its award-winning series such as The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Succession and The White Lotus. At the launch, subscribers can watch the highly acclaimed hospital series The Pitt, the historical series The Seduction and the Golden Globes winner One Battle After Another, among others.

With HBO Max, the battle in the crowded streaming market is intensifying. In addition to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV as well as the media libraries of SRF, ARD, ZDF and Arte, private providers such as Blue+ are also vying for the audience.
