Next year will really bring in the next era of streaming. We already know that Disney is entering the fray with their ambitious Disney+ service, but apart from Netflix, there hasn’t really seemed to be any other potentially-huge contenders. DC Universe seemed to be tanking, and even CBS All Access doesn’t seem to be making quite enough of a splash to make that much of an impact.

Well, allow me to introduce you to WarnerMedia’s new service: HBO Max. Yes, that is the name for their service, and in a very smart move, it capitalizes on their well-established HBO brand-name…but that’s not all that’ll be covered under that umbrella.

Here is WarnerMedia’s Description of HBO Max:

“HBO Max is a new service which will offer an impressive direct-to-consumer experience for everyone ranging from families with young children to adults of all ages. Anchored with and inspired by the legacy of HBO’s excellence and award-winning storytelling, the new service will feature an extensive collection of exclusive original programming (Max Originals) and the best-of-the-best from WarnerMedia’s enormous portfolio of beloved brands and libraries.”

That’s right. Virtually every big brand under the WarnerMedia sun will be present and accounted for, including Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, TNT, New Line Cinema, TruTV, Boomerang, Adult Swim, TBS, CNN, and DC.

The commercial features prominent films and TV shows, including Friends, Batwoman, and The Wizard of Oz. Clearly, this is one streaming service, not to be trifled with.

No date or price has been given, but spring 2020 is the scuttlebutt, along with a supposed $17.99 price point, which isn’t bad, considering HBO Now is already $14.99.
