The HBO service is already available in 112 territories worldwide.
HBO Max’s parent, WBD, is currently in the midst of an almighty struggle for its future, with Paramount having upped its offer to buy the company.
The offer, which has been estimated at around $32 a share, could end the existing agreement with Netflix, which is for $27.75 a share, plus the value of the spun-off Discovery Global business.
More news on that deal is expected today.
