The streaming service of the pay channel HBO, known for, among other things, ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘The Sopranos’, will start on March 8 in the fifteen countries. The service will then be available in 61 countries and regions worldwide. The offer includes films and series from the TV channel HBO and film studio Warner Bros.

Until last year, HBO’s offer in the Netherlands was still available at telecom company Ziggo, a sister company of Telenet. However, HBO decided not to renew the agreement with the Dutch company, which allows a launch of HBO Max in the Netherlands.

In Flanders, the broadcasting rights of the HBO series are currently still held by Streamz, the service of Telenet and DPG Media. It is not clear how long that agreement will run. In the press release about the expansion, the head of HBO Max international, Johannes Larcher, does speak of a strategy to go directly to consumers worldwide.

In addition to the fifteen countries where HBO Max will launch next month, the service will launch later this year in six additional European countries, according to the press release. Inquiries with Warner learn that Belgium is not among those six countries either.
