Another day, another streaming service.
After years of rumours, it looks like we finally have a launch date for one of the most talked-about streaming services on the market.
HBO Max, the home to one of the most popular TV shows, The Pitt, is coming to Ireland next month.
Warner Bros has confirmed the streamer will launch on March 26th in Ireland.
At launch, the complete first season of Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award-winning Max Original The Pitt will be available to stream for the first time in the UK and Ireland, with episodes of the latest second season rolling out weekly.
HBO Max will be the home of brand-new HBO Original series, including Lanterns, based on the iconic DC title “Green Lantern” which premieres summer 2026.
The streamer will be the only place subscribers in the UK and Ireland can catch up on all seasons of the blockbuster HBO Original Euphoria, before the arrival of its highly anticipated third season in April.
Movie fans will also be able to enjoy the best of the box office, including the record-setting Oscar-nominated One Battle After Another and Sinners, as well as Superman, A Minecraft Movie and Dune: Part One.
After Friends left Netflix at the end of last year, it will now be found on HBO Max. Phew!
HBO Max will include the full range of TNT Sports content and live coverage, as well. So there truly is something for everyone.
(But mostly Noah Wyle!)
The streaming service offers four plans, starting at €5.99 a month and rising to €15.99 a month.
Sky has just announced a new package which includes, Sky HBO Max, Disney+, Hayu and Netflix together as part of Sky Ultimate TV from €28 a month, delivering the best value in the market.
Existing customers will get easy access as part of their Sky TV subscription, with over €30 worth of streaming apps included each month.
HBO Max Basic with Ads will be packaged together with NOW Entertainment, included at no extra cost for existing customers and fully integrated into the NOW platform.
