May 2020 - $14.99
Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon (they went for the low hanging fruit there).
Green Lantern series produced by Greg Berlanti with the biggest budget he's ever had, $100 million. May be tied to the film universe instead of the Arrowverse.
Other new DC series are Strange Adventures and DC Superhero High, which sounds like a live-action Superhero Girls.
The entire DC film library will be moving there along with Doom Patrol. No word on the rest of DC Universe's original content but expect that service to quietly fade away.
Exclusive series will include Friends, Big Bang, South Park and Doctor Who, including new seasons for the latter two.
Animation will have the entire WB and H-B library, new Looney Tunes shorts and show, new Gremlins animated series and new seasons for Adventure Time.
Discuss.

Well, the GoT one was a given from the money standpoint. The other prequel was dead in the womb since they wasted 8 years of buildup on NK -- I'm sure literally no one wanted to see an origin story after that.
The DC stuff half makes me happy and half feels like more of DC's continued "Us too!" policy on everything Marvel's doing. MCU streaming expansionverse? Check.
More Gremlins always makes me smile, and while I never got into Adventure Time, that feels like a big win for them as well. I fully expect AT&T to be tying Max into their upper level unlimited plans to counter Hulu (Sprint), Netflix (T-Mobile) and Disney+ (Rumored to be going to Verizon).

This is at least a more valuable proposition than HBO Now has been, since it will include more than just HBO's premium TV content and movie catalog. $15 for that was pretty silly. Disney+ is poised to undercut the market (a loss leader I'd assume), so whether HBO can convince many more people to shell out double Disney's price is an open question.
