  • The entity behind the streaming service is set to rename it from "Max" to "HBO Max" this summer, emphasizing a commitment to premium programming.

  • This name change follows a recent update in Max's visual design that aligns it more closely with HBO's branding.
  • "With the course we are on and strong momentum we are enjoying, we believe HBO Max far better represents our current consumer proposition. And it clearly states our implicit promise to deliver content that is recognized as unique and, to steal a line we always said at HBO, worth paying for."— Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, about the renaming of Max to HBO Max.
  • The rebranding effort is part of a long history of identity transformations that HBO has undergone under various owners.

  • The platform achieved profitability in 2024 and aims to exceed 150 million subscribers by the close of 2026.
