The new service will feature HBO and other premium cable shows and will be priced higher than the HBO Now subscription-which currently stands at $14.99- and won’t be determined until the platform goes to market. While there is no confirmed pricing, we can expect the content to be “competitive” to Netflix and other streaming platforms.
The new platform will be fronted by HBO, with content from additional WarnerMedia brands bundled around that premium cable service https://t.co/vOwnDS8AjP

The company will be keeping all of their in-house content in order to make for a more competitive subscription, much like Disney’s new rival platform. The media company will also be using their additional brands and promises to offer content like no one else can.
