HBO Max & Viu Align for Streaming Bundle

Consumers across key Southeast Asian markets will be able to access HBO Max and Viu via a single subscription beginning in Q4.

The bundle arrives in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand later this year via HBO Max and Viu’s websites.

“Following the proven consumer and business benefits of HBO Max bundles in other parts of the world, this new streaming offering will provide strong entertainment value for consumers across Southeast Asia, and help drive subscriber growth and stronger retention,” said James Gibbons, president for the Asia Pacific at Warner Bros. Discovery. “With access to two complementary and world-class collections in a single subscription, local fans can enjoy even more choice—from premium Hollywood movies and series to standout local Asian content.”

Janice Lee, CEO of Viu and managing director of PCCW Media Group, added: “Our partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery is an exciting step forward in our promise to continually enhance Viu’s entertainment options and meet our viewers’ evolving tastes. By combining HBO Max’s Hollywood content with Viu’s Asian favorites in a single bundle subscription, we’re offering more choice in shows, easier access to diverse content and greater value across a wider range of programming.”
