How much is Max?
Max is HBO and Warner Bros in one service: House of the Dragon, The Last of Us and the Warner movie library. It is also part of the Disney, Hulu and Max bundle.
What it costs
Max costs $18.49 a month in the US (standard ad-free plan, checked 5 November 2026). Prices change, so confirm on Max before you sign up.
What you get
Max is the prestige pick. HBO's drama — House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, The White Lotus — plus the Warner Bros film catalog make it the service most people keep for the biggest shows.
How to pay less
Max works well in a rotation: subscribe for the run of one HBO season, then cancel. Or take it inside the Disney bundle if you also use Hulu and Disney+.
