One thing to note here is your out of luck if you in UK, as WarnerBro has a four year deal with UK based company Sky which prevent them from directly entering UK. we hope things will change with HBO further planning to start a global streaming service once their contracts end with local broadcasters in UK and else where. UK audience can still watch HBO content from the local partner Sky.
WarnerBros Discovery (WDB) the parent comany of HBO has plans to combine all their content and create a truely global brand similar to Netflix and Discovery Plus. we hope this will happen sooner than 2024. new name for the Global offering has not yet been disclosed pundits of streaming expecting all the WarnerBrothers , Discovery content will be available in the new services.
