AT&T has revealed that HBO Max will launch in May of 2020 with 10,000 hours of programming pre-loaded, and the service will cost $14.99 per month – the same price as HBO, but with much more content. From _[The Hollywood Reporter][3]_:

> HBO Max will be filled with 10,000 hours of programming from across the media conglomerate's divisions including such TV hits as _Friends_, _The Big Bang Theory_ and _South Park_; Warner Bros. films including _Joker_; the full HBO catalog; and originals such as the previously announced Ansel Elgort drama _Tokyo Vice_, a _Grease_ spinoff and a _Gossip Girl_ sequel.

HBO's library of content will include all the big hits like _Game of Thrones_ and _Succession_, along with classics like _Sex and the City_ and _Sopranos_, as well as new releases like the forthcoming _Game of Thrones_ prequel, _House of the Dragon_. HBO Max will also have 1,800 film titles including all DC movies and, eventually, the full 2020 feature film slate.

AT&T will offer HBO Max for free to its existing 10 million HBO customers. WarnerMedia also revealed that it will offer the service as subscription-only in its first year, before launching an ad-supported version in 2021. There are also plans for live and interactive programming as well as special events.

The new $14.99 a month service will arrive almost two years after AT&T completed its acquisition of Time Warner, which owns HBO. It will compete with [Apple TV][4]+ and Disney+, both of which will cost $4.99 per month when they launch in November.
