Warner Bros.Discovery and Viacom18 have inked a multi-year agreement, making JioCinema India the new streaming home of HBO, Max Original and Warner Bros. content from May 2023. JioCinema India is the advertising video-on-demand (AVoD) and over-the-top (OTT) streaming services owned by Viacom18.
Spanning thousands of hours of some of the best and most popular series and movies from around the world, the agreement enables Viacom18 to offer a wide range content slate to its users in India across linear channels and JioCinema India. HBO Original, Max Original and Warner Bros. TV series will premiere on JioCinema on the same day as in the US.
