Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service, Max, is officially launching in Turkey on April 15, absorbing and upgrading the existing Turkish streaming platform, BluTV. This means a massive expansion of content and features for Turkish viewers.
Here’s the Lowdown: BluTV will become Max, combining its popular local shows with a huge library of Warner Bros. Discovery content. This includes HBO and Max Originals, Warner Bros. movies (like Barbie and Dune: Part Two), DC films, and the Harry Potter franchise. Existing BluTV hits like “Magarsus,” “Prince,” and “Bezhat Ç.” will continue, and the final two episodes of “Magarsus” Season 2, will be made available exclusively on the platform on April 17 and 24. Popular shows like Friends, The Big Bang Theory, The last of Us, The White Lotus and House of the Dragon will now be made available.
What This Means Now: Turkish subscribers get a vastly improved streaming experience with more content, better features, and a wider selection of genres. This includes live sports from Eurosport (like Roland-Garros and the Tour de France), kids’ programming from Cartoon Network and Cartoonito, news from CNN International, and shows from discovery+ and DMAX (like 90 Day Fiancé).
The Bigger Picture: Warner Bros. Discovery is investing heavily in Turkish productions, promising more local originals than ever before. This launch is a major step in Max’s global expansion, now reaching 77 territories and over 116 million subscribers. Turkey, with its large population, represents a key market for growth. The launch is also being viewed as a significant moment in the integration of BluTV.
