JioHotstar on Wednesday said it has become the exclusive Indian home for HBO Max following an expansion of its partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery.
The newly launched HBO Max hub on the platform aggregates content from HBO, Max Originals, Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios into a single destination for subscribers in the country.
As part of the rollout, the third season of Euphoria is now available for streaming, while titles such as House of the Dragon Season 3, DC Studios series Lanterns, and the eight-episode first season of the HBO original Harry Potter series, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, will be released later in 2026.
The hub already features a range of popular titles including The Last of Us, The White Lotus, The Pitt, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Succession, Dune: Prophecy, Game of Thrones and Sex and the City.
The expanded deal also brings back shows such as Friends and The Big Bang Theory to Indian streaming audiences, along with titles like The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and The Flash. In addition, the platform will offer film franchises including Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, besides titles from the DC Universe.
