HBO MAX launch for UK is still coming but a deal with SKY is still possible
Warner Bros. Discovery is doubling down on its plan to bring Max (formerly HBO Max) to the UK, despite the challenges posed by the existing licensing deals with Sky.

However, the media giant also hinted at the possibility of maintaining a content partnership with Sky, suggesting that the two companies may explore new collaboration models even after Max’s launch.

Gerhard Zeiler, president of Warner Bros. Discovery International, spoke about the company’s UK strategy at the MoffettNathanson media conference yesterday, as first reported by Deadline.

“We want, we need to, and we will launch Max in these three markets,” Zeiler stated, referring to the UK, Germany, and Italy.

“These are three of the most important markets outside of the US. There is no reason we should not do that. Why should we disadvantage ourselves by not launching Max?”
