HBO Streaming Plans and Pricing Revealed by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO

HBO’s global streaming chief JB Perrette has shared several upcoming plans for the network, including a February return date for “The White Lotus” series. The 2025 premiere date for “The Last of Us” Season 2, “Game of Thrones” prequel “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” and an anticipated 2026 debut for “Euphoria” Season 3 have also been confirmed.

Perrette mentioned that HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” TV series is now scheduled to launch in 2027. The series, which is currently casting its new Harry, Ron, and Hermione, will mark a 10-year journey on the beloved franchise.

Regarding Max, Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service, Perrette announced that password sharing detection will begin this month with “gentle messaging.” As data becomes available, filters will tighten to reduce password sharing. Max prices will increase in the future, but Perrette did not provide a timeline or specifics. The goal is to remain at the premium end of pricing for HBO content and brand.
