We don’t know what the future holds for the HBO Max streaming service, since it’s owned by Warner Bros., which was just acquired by streaming powerhouse Netflix – but they clearly don’t expect the Netflix deal to disrupt their 2026 programming slate in any significant way. HBO Max has just released a teaser trailer that showcases the lineup of original series and documentaries that will be premiering throughout the next year. A press release notes that “the spot underscores HBO Max’s commitment to delivering high quality, must-see stories that inspire, entertain, and spark conversations around the globe. With a 2026 slate that champions originality and diverse voices, HBO Max reaffirms its dedication to bringing audiences together through content that is unforgettable and unparalleled.” You can watch the teaser trailer in the embed above.
