In the year between last year’s European Film Market and this year’s virtual confab, new streaming entrants have begun shaking up the content landscape in Europe in unprecedented ways.
While players such as Netflix, Amazon and even Disney Plus now a year into its European reign have enjoyed a head start, WarnerMedia has big plans ahead for HBO Max, its new streaming service that promises to lean into the might of the storied brand while crafting a mass appeal service that can grab a younger demographic.
“I’m elated to begin this partnership and to bring entertaining and impactful television projects to my friends and collaborators at HBO and HBO Max,” Thompson said in a statement. “Together we are committed to developing interesting and inclusive stories with inventive creators and to discover new voices and visionaries.”
