HBO Max and Discovery+ are not long for this world, slated to merge into new streaming service Max on May 23. Fortunately, both are bringing a lot of content over to the new place, so you don't have to panic-binge those last few episodes of House of the Dragon you just didn't get around to.

Users who are already subscribed to HBO Max or Discovery+ will either see their apps update automatically, or will be directed to download the new Max app. Discovery+ will still be available at a lower price if all you care about is marathoning Property Brothers, however all its content will also be on Max.

Max will continue to offer HBO Original series such as Euphoria, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us, as well as Discovery content like House Hunters, Chopped, and Say Yes to the Dress. However, the streaming service will also premiere several Max Originals at launch, including:

In addition to this original programming, Max will also launch with:

More titles will be added throughout May and June, including the series finales of HBO Originals Succession and Barry on May 28, HBO Original The Idol on Jun. 4, and Robert Downey Jr.'s Max Original series Downey’s Dream Cars on Jun. 22. Max aims to add around 40 new titles and seasons every month, consisting of both originals and content from brands such as Warner Bros., HGTV, Food Network, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, and TLC.

That's a lot of content for you to indecisively flick through. In the meantime, here's Mashable's guide to everything you need to know about Max.
