Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) has announced that HBO Max will launch direct-to-consumer in Vietnam on June 16th, further expanding the brand’s footprint in Asia Pacific. The SVoD service brings together popular entertainment brands, including HBO, Harry Potter, the DC Universe, Cartoon Network, Max Originals and Hollywood movies.

Subscribers can stream new and returning HBO and Max Original series, including the third season of House of the Dragon, premiering June 22nd, DC Studios’ Lanterns, premiering in August and the highly anticipated first season of the new Harry Potter series, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, debuting this winter.

James Gibbons, President of APAC at WBD, commented: “The launch of HBO Max in Vietnam marks the successful completion of our direct-to-consumer rollout across key Southeast Asian markets, and widens the reach of our unparalleled content offering to even more fans in the region.”

At launch, local subscribers can stream movies, such as Sinners and One Battle After Another, popular HBO and Max Originals such as The Last of Us, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Game of Thrones and The Pitt, and the entire movie collections of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Fan favourites, such as Friends and The Big Bang Theory, will also be available, alongside family entertainment, including We Bare Bears and Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake. Korean entertainment fans can also enjoy access to exclusive dramas on HBO Max, from Yumi’s Cells season three with Kim Go-eun, Filing for Love with Shin Hae-sun and The Legend of Kitchen Soldier with Park Ji-hoon, to the popular series Dear X starring Kim You-jung.
