Max is now available in Turkey, where BluTV has evolved into the premium streaming service from Warner Bros. Discovery. Existing direct subscribers in Turkey can sign in to the advanced global platform with enhanced features and functionality to watch thousands more hours and hundreds more titles than were previously available on BluTV. The launch also marks Warner Bros. Discovery’s commitment to increasing its investment in local content, bringing a compelling slate of new local stories to Max.

During its launch press event, Warner Bros. Discovery announced three new Turkish local originals set to debut on Max: "Anatomy of chaos," "Jasmin," and "Feride." These will join Max’s growing slate of Turkish productions, further expanding the platform’s rich local content offering and underscoring Warner Bros. Discovery’s dedication to supporting Türkiye’s thriving creative industry. Additionally, a first look was revealed for the previously announced Turkish originals "First Göktürk, prince" season 3, and "Çekiç ve Gül: Bir Behzat Ç. hikayesi" season 3.

Max’s upcoming Turkish original productions will further enrich the platform’s offerings, spotlighting local talent and compelling narratives. At launch, all new Turkish productions and local returning seasons will carry the Max Originals brand and will be released globally (subject to rights), reinforcing the global appeal of Turkey’s storytelling that resonates with audiences both in Turkey and worldwide.

Jamie Cooke, General Manager CEE, MENA and Türkiye at Warner Bros. Discovery, considered the launch a milestone in the company's strategy: "Bringing Max to Turkey is a key milestone for Warner Bros. Discovery and marks the completion of the successful integration of BluTV into our portfolio. The enhanced platform enables us to strengthen our footprint in the region as we offer an even broader selection of world-class entertainment. Turkey has an incredibly rich storytelling heritage, and with Max, we are delivering a premium streaming experience that combines the best of global and local content," commented.

Finally, Deniz Şaşmaz Oflaz, Vice President of Local Original Productions, Local Channels and Streaming Operations Lead for Türkiye, highlighted the storytelling of the Turkish industry: "The launch of Max is a defining moment for our presence in Turkey. The country has a vibrant storytelling tradition and a thriving entertainment industry. With Max, we are not only bringing our world-class content to Turkish audiences, we are also increasing our investment in local talent and productions that celebrate Turkey’s unique culture and stories," expressed.
