HBO Max is an over-the-top subscription service owned and operated by Warner Bros. Discovery. It distributes a number of original films, documentaries, and specials, alongside their slate of television series. The shows produced for HBO Max are dubbed "Max Originals". They are divided into three categories: "Kids & Family", "Millennials & Gen Z", and "Adult", all targeting different demographics. Max Originals are specifically made for audiences outside the traditional baseline HBO brand, while simultaneously working in parity with the HBO library. Content that is based on new and existing properties from WarnerMedia's subsidiaries will be distributed through HBO Max.
