Show Thanks to hit shows like House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, Euphoria, Westworld, the Friends Reunion, Mare of Easttown and Sex and the City revival And Just Like That..., HBO is widely regarded as the home of premium television. Despite its old streaming service HBO Now never arriving Down Under, Australian fans have still been able to binge on all the HBO content they desire through Foxtel. However, the standalone HBO Max app launched in the USA back in 2020. How did that change the way we watch HBO content in Australia? Not by a lot. You can still watch it through Foxtel - but for a more HBO Max-like experience, you might find more joy in BINGE. In this article, we'll tell you why BINGE closely resembles what we'd call HBO Max Australia.

What is HBO Max?HBO Max is a streaming service dedicated to HBO programming. It is essentially the same concept as what we've seen from Disney with its Disney Plus service and with NBC Universal with its Peacock service. It's a direct portal between HBO and its customers for all its original TV shows and movies. HBO Max released in the US on 27 May 2020. It costs US$14.99 a month (approximately AUD$22 a month) for the ad-free version. The service offers an ad-supported plan for US$9.99. There are no plans for HBO Max to release in Australia, at least not yet. The platform's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, confirmed that HBO Max and Discovery Plus will combine into 1 service in 2023. If that service comes to Australia, we're not expecting it any earlier than 2024. In lieu of an HBO Max Australia launch, a bidding war occurred between previous rights holder, Foxtel and its main streaming video on-demand rival in Australia, Stan. That battle was won by Foxtel. Shortly before the release of HBO Max in the US, Foxtel launched a sister service called BINGE. In doing so, BINGE effectively became Australia's HBO Max. Although as you will discover in our detailed review, it offers a heck of a lot more than just HBO Max content. How to watch HBO Max content in AustraliaWhile Stan has been able to pinch some HBO Max originals of Foxtel - like Love Life, Hacks and Station Eleven - those titles were outliers since they were made for HBO Max for companies other that Warner. Generally speaking, HBO Max content will be available in Australia mainly through Foxtel and BINGE. This includes original content, as well as new and legacy TV shows and movies from HBO and HBO Max. You can watch with Foxtel Now and Foxtel iQ or BINGE. Thankfully, you can start enjoying HBO content right now in Australia for free. Just use this14-day BINGE free trialor a 10-day free Foxtel Now trial. How much does HBO content cost in Australia?That depends on whether you choose BINGE or Foxtel Now. Of the 2, BINGE has the slightly longer free trial period and is cheaper. BINGE's Basic package costs $10 a month with SD video quality and 1 stream. The HD options are $16 a month and $18 a month, respectively. Standard lets you watch on 2 devices at the same time, Premium on 4. For Foxtel Now, you need to get the basic Essentials pack ($25 a month) and add the Drama Extra pack ($10 a month) to get your HBO and HBO Max streaming fix. In terms of devices, both are available on computers, smartphones and tablets, Telstra TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast/Airplay, PS4 and selected smart TVs. You can see more on BINGE vs Foxtel here. You can also take the more traditional Foxtel iQ route. This costs more and may require the installation of cables and a set-top box at your home. However, it does have the benefits of a more consistent connection, 4K support and the ability to record to the device. Find out more about Foxtel iQ here. HBO Max offers HBO content and original productions, but also shows and movies from other providers. This includes films from Warner Bros. and New Line, as well as TV shows from Sesame Street, CNN, TNT, TBS, truTV, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth and Looney Tunes. As such, US subscribers get access to non-HBO content such as Friends, Doctor Who, South Park, The Big Bang Theory, Nancy Drew, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Rick and Morty through the HBO Max service. In Australia, only the HBO content will 100% be shown on BINGE and Foxtel. Non-HBO content must be bid on separately. We have seen these shows appear elsewhere, including Stan and Amazon Prime Video. So BINGE isn't exactly HBO Max Australia, but it's close. List of HBO Max OriginalsThe list of HBO Max Originals is growing quickly. Here's a quick snapshot of some exclusive titles available on HBO Max, most of them streaming on Foxtel and BINGE in Australia. There are 180 titles found.
No titles matching your search criteria were found. Note: The Looney Tunes Cartoons aren't classics, but freshly made shorts that pay homage to the greats of yesteryear. Also, Frayed has previously released in the UK and Australian markets. HBO Max Warner Bros. dealOn 4 December 2020 Warner Bros. announced that in the US it would be releasing 17 of its theatrical releases on HBO Max in 2021. There was 1 film released directly to the service in 2020, Wonder Woman 1984. It became available on Boxing Day in Australia. The list of other blockbusters that went straight to HBO Max with only brief time in cinemas beforehand is impressive. It includes The Matrix Ressurections Space Jam: A New Legacy, Dune, The Suicide Squad, Mortal Kombat, Zach Snyder's Justice League, Godzilla vs Kong and The Many Saints of Newark. Each film was available on HBO Max for 1 month of once they are released at no additional cost. As of 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery is ending the same-day release model and returning to theatrical releases, but will still make movies that will be exclusive for HBO Max. How to stream HBO Max in Australia with a VPNTech-savvy users may be able to access HBO Max by using a VPN service to bypass geo-blocking. However, HBO is known to kick out users who don't reside in territories where the streaming service is available, so there's no guarantee it will work. This is somewhere in that grey area between legal and illegal, so proceed at your own risk. HBO Max costs US$14.99 a month and is available on a variety of devices. Our recommendationThe safest and more accessible way to stream HBO content in Australia is to subscribe to BINGE. There's no need to sign up to any packs. Straight away you're guaranteed access to HBO's large library of original shows, from Game of Thrones to Big Little Lies. You can also watch HBO Max originals like Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, The Flight Attendant, Peacemaker and The Sex Lives of College Girls.

HBO Max free trialThere is no HBO Max free trial for Australians, but you can of course get HBO content using the BINGE free trial or the Foxtel Now free trial. For the later, you get access to all the channel packs available on the platform during the free trial. Once the trial is over, you will only have access to the channel packs you are subscribed to.

Millions still BINGE its 8 seasons. The epic fantasy drama, based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, has a huge fan base across the globe and managed to remain appointment television in a time where streaming is king and watching on demand is the new black. For the night is dark and full of spoilers. Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is also making waves. The show centres on House Targaryen and chronicles a turbulent period in the family's history. Other popular HBO titles include dramas The Sopranos, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Westworld, Big Little Lies and Deadwood. On the comedy front, we find titles like Veep, Girls, Silicon Valley, Sex and the City, Barry and Curb Your Enthusiasm. The list also includes Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the series that reshaped late-night TV. HBO also scored big with Succession, the series that has the Internet talking whenever it releases new episodes. Stream it at your own peril: it's known to cause addiction. Teen drama Euphoria is also a huge success with critics and fans alike. History of HBOThe oldest and longest continuously operating pay television service in the US, Home Box Office (HBO) has been consistently expanding in new markets all around the world since the early 90s. The channel's programming mainly consists of theatrically released movies and original television series, as well as the occasional concert special, documentary, made-for-TV flick, boxing match or stand-up comedy show. What makes the provider stand out from the crowd, besides its quality content, is the fact that HBO doesn't carry traditional commercials. Instead, it runs promos for upcoming shows or movies, as well as behind-the-scenes featurettes made to pique interest in its original programming. As a result, HBO can afford to broadcast more explicit content that wouldn't normally be allowed to air on broadcast television: think profanity, explicit sex scenes and graphic violence. All the good stuff. BINGE and Foxtel Now don't support 4K resolution at the moment. Content is available in HD. You can watch some 4K content with Foxtel as long as you have an iQ4 or iQ5, the pay TV provider's HD pack and a 4K TV. Notably, Game Of Thrones and House of The Dragon are available in 4K video quality. Will HBO Max come to Australia?Despite HBO steadily rolling out streaming platforms across the globe, there are no plans for HBO Max to arrive in Australia yet. That's mainly due to HBO's deal with Foxtel. Can I stream HBO content with Chromecast?Yes. BINGE, HBO Max, and Foxtel Now work with Chromecast. Can HBO Max be used on multiple devices?Yes, you can use HBO Max on multiple devices at the same time. The service supports 3 simultaneous streams; if you exceed it you will receive an error message.
