HBO Max is set to launch in the UK on March 26 with subscription plans ranging from £4.99 to £14.99 per month, and will also offer TNT Sports as a standalone or bolt-on. However, Paramount Skydance confirmed it plans to combine its own proprietary streamer, Paramount+, with HBO Max once the merger is complete. The launch of HBO Max has been delayed due to concerns about its standalone status. Other notable shows on HBO include Richard Gadd's "Half Man" and the upcoming "Harry Potter" series.
