Sky and Now TV subscribers will get free access to the new streaming service Max when it launches in 2026 as part of the agreement.
Audiences in the UK and Ireland will be able to continue viewing popular American shows after Sky extended and expanded its deal with Warner Bros. Discovery bringing HBO programming to screens outside the US. Access to the new Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service, Max, will become a free part of Sky in 2026 when the platform launches. Viewers will be able to watch a version of the service with ads for free.
The announcement on Monday also brings an end to litigation on the forthcoming Harry Potter TV series, which is exclusive to Max. Sky had sued Warner Bros. Discovery , saying it had an agreement that gave it the right to co-produce shows and wanted to partner on the latest Harry Potter incarnation. Warner Bros and Discovery merged in 2022.
