HBO Max Returns to Amazon Prime Video Channels

HBO Max has returned to Amazon Prime Video channels in the US.

Starting today, Prime customers can sign up for HBO Max via Amazon(Opens in a new window) for $14.99 per month to access 15,000 hours of content from HBO, Warner Bros., and DC.

A new deal between Warner Bros. Discovery and Amazon extends access through at least the end of 2024, ensuring customers are automatically upgraded to the upcoming consolidated HBO Max/Discovery+ streaming service, set for launch next year.

“We strive to offer customers the best and widest selection of premium content available for their everyday viewing experience,” Cem Sibay, VP of Prime Video, said in a statement. “Now with the addition of HBO Max again, customers can easily add this subscription and enjoy even more award-winning and fan favorite entertainment on Prime Video.”

It’s been a rollercoaster ride since HBO Max debuted in May 2020. It was initially left off Amazon’s network for six months before gaining access via Fire TV devices. It was then removed from Prime Video Channels in September 2021 after WarnerMedia and Amazon failed to reach an agreement to extend distribution.

“Warner Bros. Discovery is committed to making HBO Max available to as broad an audience as possible while also advancing our data-driven approach to understanding our customers and best serving their viewing interests,” says Bruce Campbell, chief revenue and strategy officer at WB Discovery. “Today, we are thrilled to take an important step forward by announcing that HBO Max is returning to Prime Video Channels.”

Signing up for HBO Max, or any other streaming service, via Prime Channels(Opens in a new window) doesn’t offer you any sort of discount outside the occasional holiday deal. The idea is to consolidate your streaming service subscriptions into one hub (your Amazon account) to simplify billing.
