HBO Max, the renowned streaming platform from Warner Bros. Discovery, is set to launch in Israel as a stand-alone service on January 13, 2024. This arrival marks a significant milestone in the country’s television and streaming landscape.
Subscription Plans for HBO Max in Israel
HBO Max will provide several subscription plans, starting at NIS 49.90 per month. Notably, Yes subscribers will enjoy six months of complimentary access to HBO Max. After the promotional period, the service continues at the same rate through Yes.
Access and Content Availability
- The HBO Max catalog will feature popular series such as Euphoria, Game of Thrones, and The White Lotus.
- Viewers will also have access to classic HBO series, including The Wire and Sex and the City.
- Noteworthy films like Dune, The Batman, and Harry Potter will be part of the offering.
This launch transforms the previous sporadic availability of HBO content in Israel, which often came months or years after U.S. releases. By subscribing to HBO Max directly or through Yes, Israeli viewers can now access a broad array of programming from HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, and DC.
Upcoming Titles and Events
Fans can look forward to exciting upcoming series, including a Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the medical drama The Pitt, starring Noah Wyle. Recently released blockbuster movies like Superman, A Minecraft Movie, and Sinners will also be included in the lineup.
The announcement of HBO Max’s launch was made at a festive event this week, featuring an appearance by popular singer Noa Kirel. Kirel is also the subject of a new documentary produced by Yes.
The Impact on Entertainment in Israel
The introduction of HBO Max is anticipated to significantly enhance home entertainment options in Israel. By offering a vast library of acclaimed TV series and films, it positions itself to change the viewing habits of many Israelis.
