Since Warner Bros. and Discovery merged into one giant company, it has long been planned that they would merge their two separate streaming services, Discovery+ and HBO Max. But that is now no longer a possibility.
The Wall Street Journal confirms that the two services will remain separate, but says the company still plans to offer a "super service" with programming from both offerings.
Reportedly, this is because Warner Bros. Discovery fears that Discovery+ subscribers around the world will not want to switch to a more expensive "super service". Market indications are that the unnamed service will be more expensive than the two stand-alone services.
