15 New HBO Max Original Productions Coming To HBO Go And WarnerMedia Channels
The first wave of HBO Max originals are premiering on HBO Go and WarnerMedia channels.
We have good news and bad news about the new streaming service HBO Max. Bad news: We have no idea when HBO Max, which was launched in the US on May 27, will drop in Singapore.
But the good news is, the first batch of at least 15 HBO Max originals will be available on HBO Go and other WarnerMedia-owned channels HBO, Warner TV, Cartoon Network and Boomerang.
So far two shows have started streaming on HBO Go — the Anna Kendrick-starring rom-com series Love Life and the kid’s talk show Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo. Here is the list of HBO Max originals to look out for…
COMEDY & DRAMA SERIES
================
Love Life
Rom-com — hailed by some as the Sex and the City of 2020 — starring Anna Kendrick as a New Yorker’s search for love. You know the drill: she has to kiss a few frogs before getting to Prince Charming.

The Flight Attendant

More comic-book mayhem from the band of super-powered freaks, part support group, part superhero team, who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them.
Made for Love
Ray Romano and How I Met Your Mother’s Cristin Milioti star in this dark, absurd and cynically poignant story of divorce and revenge. Based on the tragicomic novel of the same name.
