Netflix has been the temporary home of content from many companies. However, there’s one company that’s yet to place its shows on the streaming service, and that’s HBO. However, thanks to a report from Deadline (via Engadget), HBO is finally making some of its content available on Netflix in the US.
The home of most of HBO’s shows and movies can be found on MAX. The company originally showed all of its content on HBO MAX, but the company merged its content with Discovery+. The merged streaming service is MAX, and it gives you access to content from both of the streaming services. However, HBO had to shed a bunch of its HBO MAX content in the process.
If you’re interested in getting a subscription, the plan starts off at $9.99/month ($99.99/year) for the ad-supported tier. Going ad-free will cost you $15.99/month ($149.99/year), and the top-tier plan costs $19.99/month ($199.99/year).
These HBO shows are coming to Netflix in the US
There’s a handful of shows crossing the pond to Netflix, but there’s only one show currently streaming. This is a gradual rollout, so the other shows will show up on Netflix in due time.
The show that’s on Netflix now is Insecure. This show was created by Issa Rae, and it’s highly acclaimed. This comedy-drama “looks at the friendship of two modern-day black women, as well as all of their uncomfortable experiences and racy tribulations.”, as per the description on HBO.com. All five seasons are currently on Netflix, so you can start binging now.
If you manage to burn your way through that show, don’t worry. There are other shows making their way over to Netflix. Band of Brothers, Six Feet Under, Ballers, and The Pacific are also making their way over to Netflix. These shows will arrive as time goes on. Also, remember, this refers to the US market. If you’re outside of the US, you’ll be able to watch True Blood.
