HBO Max is a joint venture between AT&T and WarnerMedia, which was announced back in May 2018. The new streaming service will feature original programming from both companies, along with exclusive shows and movies.

It’s no secret that HBO is known for its high quality entertainment. Now, subscribers will get access to even more shows and movies from the same network. If you want to watch Game of Thrones or Westworld, you’re going to have to pay for it.

HBO does offer free trials so that you can get a feel of the service before committing to the price.

However, if you feel like your subscription or free trial is no longer worth your money, you can cancel it so that you will not have to pay again. Let’s look more into this, shall we?
