Overview
- A deal announced Wednesday makes JioHotstar the exclusive home for an HBO Max branded hub in India.
- HBO Max is offered as an add-on starting at ₹49 per month, and JioHotstar said ad exposure will depend on a customer’s existing plan.
- The hub is live with Euphoria Season 3 available now, with House of the Dragon Season 3, DC’s Lanterns, and the new Harry Potter series set for 2026.
- The rollout consolidates HBO, Max Originals, Warner Bros. and DC content in one place and adds long-missing catalog hits like Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings film collections.
- Warner Bros. Discovery and JioHotstar framed the move as a strategic push that taps JioHotstar’s scale to reach more viewers without launching a standalone app.
