With the change, Discovery+ content will be included in HBO Max. Series and films from HBO, HBO Max, Warner. Bros Studios, Discovery Channel and Food Network can then be watched via the new streaming service. The streaming platforms HBO Max and Discovery+ were merged in the United States in May last year under the name Max.
