It’s
out
with
the
new
and
in
with
the
old
at
Max.
During
the
Warner
Bros.
Discovery
Upfronts
in
New
York
City
May
14,
the
streaming
service
announced
it
would
revert
to
its
HBO
Max
branding
two
years
after
HBO
was
dropped
from
its
name.
The
service,
which
is
home
to
original
series
including
The
Pitt,
And
Just
Like
That…
and
Hacks
as
well
as
HBO
favorites
like
Game
of
Thrones,
The
White
Lotus
and
True
Detective,
will
adopt
its
former
moniker
once
more
beginning
this
summer.
Shortly
after
the
announcement
was
made,
social
media
users
shared
their
comical
reactions
to
the
news,
including
one
who
wrote
on
X
(formerly
Twitter),
“I’d
love
to
be
in
the
meetings
they
keep
having.”
But
not
to
be
outdone,
the
network’s
own
social
media
accounts
poked
fun
at
the
change
using
content
from
its
own
library.
For
instance,
the
official
Max
account
updated
its
bio
on
the
platform
with
a
reference
to
Jennifer
Coolidge’s
iconic
White
Lotus
one-liner,
writing,
“These
rebrands
are
trying
to
murder
me.”
