It distributes a number of original films, documentaries, and specials, alongside their slate of television series. The shows produced for Max are dubbed "Max Originals". Max Originals are specifically made for audiences outside the traditional baseline HBO brand, while simultaneously working in parity with the HBO library. Content that is based on new and existing properties from WBD's subsidiaries will be distributed through Max.
