The second phase of HBO Max's international launch has been announced, with 15 more European countries expected to receive WarnerMedia's streaming platform starting March 8.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia are among the next wave of countries.

The streamer will now be available in 61 territories spanning Europe and the Americas. Six additional Euro countries, including Greece and Turkey, will be added to the program later this year.

HBO Max will be available on a variety of devices as well as through a limited number of local TV partners.

Last Monday, the business announced its Q4 2021 statistics, exceeding its own expectations by reaching 73.8 million global HBO/HBO Max customers. Despite the decision to remove HBO max from Amazon Prime Channels in mid-September, this meant a total of 13 million new subscribers in 2021.

Christina Sulebakk, General Manager, HBO Max EMEA, said: “HBO Max is a new streaming experience offering the very best entertainment, movies, original series and kids programming from Warner Bros., HBO, DC, Cartoon Network, Max Originals and more. We are thrilled to confirm that on 8th March, HBO Max is arriving in 15 additional European countries as we continue making the platform available across the continent and beyond.”

Johannes Larcher, Head of HBO Max International, added: “The global roll out of HBO Max continues at pace as we launch the platform in 15 additional European countries, taking us to 61 territories worldwide. We are delivering on our strategy to go direct-to-consumer around the world which coupled with our beloved content will give us the scale needed to be one of the top global streaming platforms.”
