WarnerMedia has set a May 27 launch date for the new HBO Max streaming service, which will cost $14.99 per month and will eventually boast up to 10,000 hours of content.

Series that'll be available at launch include Anna Kendrick’s Love Life, doc feature On The Record, non-scripted series Legendary and Craftopia, and children's shows such as the new Looney Tunes Cartoon and The Not Too Late Show with Elmo.

We found out last week that J.J. Abrams was developing a live-action Justice League Dark series for HBO Max along with a show based on Stephen King's The Shining, Overlook. Greg Berlanti is also working on both Green Lantern and a Strange Adventures anthology series, but it's been a while since we've had any solid updates.

“Our number one goal is having extraordinary content for everyone in the family, and the HBO Max programming mix we are so excited to unveil on May 27th will bear that out,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of Warner Media Entertainment and Direct-To-Consumer. “Even in the midst of this unprecedented pandemic, the all-star teams behind every aspect of HBO Max will deliver a platform and a robust slate of content that is varied, of the highest quality, and second to none. I’m knocked out by the breadth and depth of our new offering, from the Max originals, our Warner Bros library and acquisition titles from around the world, and of course the entirety of HBO.”

You can check out trailers for several of the shows that'll be available at launch below.

@BlackBeltJones - If you already have HBO Now, it's a free upgrade. They still need to give out details on how to do that though.

@MuadDib - Green Lantern doesn't even have a show-runner yet, lmao. JL Dark is probably gonna happen well before it.

I agree. I’m just surprised that HBO MAX made this announcement with nothing really juicy or hot to go with it.

This service is so weird. All the best content is just gonna be from HBO. So it's just HBO Now with more bells and whistles, at the same price.

@tmp3 - Yeah, [frick] that backcatalog of 100 years of cinema. Who cares? Ok ... on this site probably nobody indeed.

@Spawnnn - Lol, I'm just saying haha. HBO has the best content from any TV/streaming provider, but I'm not sure what the "Max" adds to it. I'm still gonna see the next season of Succession whenever it launches, but idk about these Max shows outside of Cary Fukunaga's Last of the Mohicans.

@KWilly - Sorry, but a live-action GL show cannot work on a television budget.
