HBO Max is returning to its original name following a rebrand in 2023. The move aims to restore the familiar identity viewers associate with the platform while keeping the streaming experience unchanged.
The service’s pricing and features remain the same, and the extensive catalog of original programming, films, and popular series continues to be available to subscribers.
Smart subscribers in the Philippines can conveniently charge their HBO Max subscription to their postpaid bill or use prepaid load.
To mark the announcement, HBO Max unveiled a slate of new seasons and film releases now available for streaming:
The Gilded Age Season 3
The Emmy-nominated period drama returns with heightened stakes as it follows the Russell family and others navigating power, marriage, and shifting alliances in 1880s New York. Lavish sets, historical intrigue, and new characters continue to define the acclaimed series.
And Just Like That… Season 3
The continuation of Sex and the City follows Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate life and relationships in their 50s. Known for its modern take on identity and reinvention, the series continues to blend sharp writing with its signature style and humor.
A Minecraft Movie
Based on the best-selling video game, this live-action adaptation stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black. The film centers on a band of heroes working to save the Overworld, combining familiar elements from the game with big-screen spectacle.
Wicked
The hit Broadway musical arrives on screen with Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. The adaptation tells the backstory of the witches of Oz, featuring classic songs like “Defying Gravity” and visually rich interpretations of the iconic tale.
Gladiator II
Director Ridley Scott returns with a sequel to the Oscar-winning original. Set years later, the film stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, along with Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal, exploring themes of legacy, vengeance, and survival in ancient Rome.
Sinners
Set in 1930s Mississippi, Sinners follows twin brothers and war veterans who open a juke joint, only to confront a group of vampires threatening their community. The supernatural horror-thriller blends racial history, music, and suspense.
HBO Max says more content is on the way as the platform continues to grow its library. The company encourages users to subscribe or renew through Smart for a seamless experience.
