If you’ve ever wanted to have brunch with Dan Levy, now’s your chance: the comedian is set to host a new cooking competition show called The Big Brunch for HBO Max, and the first photos from the series have been revealed. Cooking competitions galore, but The Big Brunch centers on “one of the most versatile, yet underrated, dining experiences.” The series’ eight-episode first season pits 10 chefs against each other for a sizable cash price of $300,000.

‘House of the Dragon’ Crashed HBO Max Streaming During Series Debut
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NurPhoto / Getty HBO Max is getting a lot of mention these days in the press, and not for the greatest of reasons according to some observations. The streaming service suffered a slight blow once more over the weekend after a new series, House Of The Dragon, caused some crashing for users with a certain peripheral device. The Verge reported on the woes experienced by HBO Max users, pointing to a well-established fact that the app itself is plagued with a variety of issues. House Of The Dragon, a highly anticipated spinoff from the creators of the sprawling Game Of Thrones universe, apparently impacted several people who use the Amazon Fire TV or the Fire Stick device. Related Stories It appears that news of the HBO Max House Of The Dragon crashes came fro...
Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal Renewed for Second Season
HBO is shelving a lot of its original content as of late, but fortunately those cost cutting measures won’t impact Nathan Fielder’s brilliant series, The Rehearsal. Ahead of tonight’s season one finale, HBO has handed down a season two order for The Rehearsal. Not surprisingly, the network didn’t offer any sort of preview of what Fielder might have in story, because even they are in the dark. “We have no idea where season 2 will take us, and that is the delight of this boundary pushing show from a truly singular talent,” said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, in a statement.

HBO Max Removes Over 200 Classic Sesame Street Episodes
In an apparent bid to save money on residuals, Warner Bros. Discovery has been removing content from HBO Max. The process began earlier this month with the unceremonious removal of dozens of HBO Max original series and movies such as Vinyl and Camping, and An American Pickle; earlier this week, another 36 titles disappeared from the platform. Now, in an especially egregious affront to parents of young children, WBD has removed over 200 classic Sesame Street episodes from HBO Max’s library, without warning. HBO Max became the exclusive home of Sesame Street in 2019; in addition to producing new episodes, the streamer hosts the show’s 50-plus-year library. But as Tough Pigs points out, as of Friday morning, HBO Max’s Sesame Street archive is suddenly barren. Of the 250 episodes from the firs...
HBO Max & Discovery+ Merging, Your Shows Are Safe For Now, Twitter Is Still Worried
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: SOPA Images / Getty Fear not, HBO Max subscribers. Your favorite shows are safe for now. We can’t recall the last time the internet hinged on one earnings call, but on Thursday (Aug.4), that was the case. HBO Max subscribers were waiting to hear what plans David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, had in store for the streaming service. Zaslav announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ will be merging into one service in Summer 2023 while staving off fears that the popular streaming service will continue to purge content that lured subscribers to it in the first place. Zaslav shared no details on how much a subscription will cost, but we expect a bit of a price hike. During the week, HBO Max subscribers began to worry when users pointed out that HBO M...
Sony Music Latin & HBO Max Place All Bets on Original Premium Content
En Letra de Otro is Sony Music Latin and HBO Max’s perhaps most notable and longest-running original premium content series to date. With superstar names such as Farruko, Pedro Capó, Gente de Zona and, most recently Goyo attached to the HBO special — which is a conceptual series where artists sing other’s compositions — Ruben Leyva, Sony’s Sony Music U.S. Latin senior vp, artist services and premium content, says these types of projects have “become quite a big part of our business at U.S. Latin.” Original audiovisual content has taken centerstage across streaming, DSPs and social media platforms that are pumping out original recordings and documentaries featuring Latin acts (although this type of content isn’t Latin specific). While HBO is at the forefront, other projects include Amazon M...
HBO Max and Discovery+ Will Become One Streaming Service
Following the recent merger of Warner Bros. Discovery, the company confirmed plans to re-launch its two streaming platforms, HBO Max and Discovery+, as a single service, projected to roll out in the U.S. beginning Summer 2023. Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced the news during the company’s Q2 earnings call on Thursday (August 4th). By combining HBO Max, “the most acclaimed streaming service among consumers,” and Discovery+’s library of “real-life entertainment,” Warner Bros. Discovery says the new streaming service will achieve the “best of both” — acknowledging customer complaints aimed at HBO Max’s user interface and Discovery+’s catalog. Ultimately, the company said their “leading objective is growing engagement.” Once both apps are integrated, the company said, they’ll begin ...
Wait, Did Selena Gomez Film New ‘Selena + Chef’ Season at the ‘Hannah Montana’ House?
The best of both worlds? Selena Gomez dropped the season 4 trailer for Selena + Chef on Wednesday (Aug. 3), and fans think she filmed the new season in a familiar locale: the Hannah Montana house. The former Disney Channel darling heads to Malibu, Calif., for her fourth go-round on the HBO Max cooking series, and her introduction in the teaser looked familiar to eagle-eyed fans. “Hey y’all, join me at the beach for Selena + Chef season 4,” she says, standing in front of a bunch of surfboards leaned up against a white picket fence with the ocean in the background. But when the camera cut to the front of the iconic dwelling occupied by Miley Cyrus‘ fictional Stewart family, viewers knew for certain.

Warner Bros. Shelves Finished Batgirl Movie Despite $90 Million Price Tag
The Batgirl film set to star Leslie Grace, Michael Keaton, and Brendan Fraser has been scrapped by Warner Bros. Discovery, The Wrap reports.
