The production of series (original or otherwise) and streaming/made-for-TV films (under strict budget limitations) is now intended to be fully handled by HBO.

%%* ''Little Ellen'' (2021; part of Cartoonito)

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: ''Little Ellen'', an animated series about the youth of Creator/EllenDeGeneres, was highlighted during HBO Max’s 2019 announcement as one of its signature animated programs. After a series of scandals involving ''The Ellen [=DeGeneres=] Show'' broke in 2020, tarnishing [=DeGeneres=]’s reputation, there was almost no information on the status of ''Little Ellen'' for over a year. It was eventually redirected to the Creator/{{Cartoonito}} brand and launched quietly in September 2021, with most of the promotion for the show occurring within a week of its release. At least, it was renewed for two more seasons.

** Double subverted with ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks''. Two previously banned episodes (the final episodes of season 2 that were banned for mercilessly parodying Creator/{{BET}}) are finally available to stream in the United States. The season 3 episode ''Pause'' (the one that Tyler Perry found offensive) also returns after being missing from the series' page on Hulu. "[[Recap/TheBoondocksS3E4TheStoryOfJimmyRebel The Story of Jimmy Rebel]]", however, is still gone, due to the episode's harsh race humor, even for ''[[UpToEleven this]]'' [[UpToEleven show's standards]] (though, with heightened concerns over racism today, this episode might catch heat from it, regardless).

* EnemyMine: With Creator/DisneyPlus and Creator/{{Hulu}} in 2021, when the service came to an agreement with Disney to extend their US first pay-TV window rights to Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios and Creator/SearchlightPictures films to the end of 2022 (rather than expiring mid-year). The deal also allowed HBO Max to accelerate the release of these films on their platforms, rather than waiting around 9 months from release; in exchange, however, HBO Max will share streaming rights to half of the Disney-owned slate with Disney+ and Hulu. The first film released under this arrangement was ''WesternAnimation/RonsGoneWrong'', which premiered on both HBO Max and Disney+ the same date as its general home video release. A few months later, ''Film/{{Nightmare Alley|2021}}'' would premiere on HBO Max and Hulu '''before''' arriving on standard home video platforms.

** The Same-Day Premieres program began a few months after Disney+'s similar Premier Access program for new-release films, one-upping that service by making all the movies available for free with a subscription, rather than charging $29.99 per film. As a result of the CreatorBacklash above, they would reverse course in 2022; however, similar to Disney+ releasing new films on their platform just 1-3 months after theatrical release, Warner is set to begin launching their films just 46 days after opening theatrically beginning with ''Film/{{The Batman|2022}}''.

* CreatorBacklash: The announcement amidst the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic that the entire 2021 Creator/WarnerBros theatrical film slate would debut on the service for one month concurrently with the theatrical runs sparked outrage from the creative teams of many of said films and beyond against the service, particularly given they were not consulted on the decision to the same degree as the ''Film/WonderWoman1984'' crew was in 2020. [[https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/business/media/warner-bros-hbo-max-movies-pay.html Agencies representing the films' actors demanded fair compensation]], while [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sources-directors-guild-rebukes-warner-bros-in-sharply-worded-letter-criticizing-streaming-plan the Directors Guild of America gave an official rebuke to Warner Bros. and HBO Max]]. ''Film/{{Dune|2021}}'' director Creator/DenisVilleneuve [[https://variety.com/2020/film/news/dune-denis-villeneuve-blasts-warner-bros-1234851270/ slammed the decision]], decrying it as a cheap move to boost a failing service and accusing [=AT&T=]'s Warner Bros. of "no longer [being] on the same team" as its filmmakers; Creator/JamesGunn (''Film/TheSuicideSquad'') and Creator/JonMChu (''Theatre/InTheHeights'') are [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/christopher-nolan-rips-hbo-max-as-worst-streaming-service-denounces-warner-bros-plan also reportedly shocked and displeased.]] [[Creator/TheWachowskis Lana Wachowski]] was also adamant about releasing ''Film/TheMatrixResurrections'' theatrically, and, following the simultaneous release, producer Creator/VillageRoadshow outright sued Warner Bros. Creator/ClintEastwood (''Film/CryMacho'') said "Not my favorite thing in the world. How's that going to work out at all? I still don't know.". {{Downplayed|Trope}} with John Lee Hancock (''Film/TheLittleThings''), who admitted to [[https://deadline.com/2020/12/the-little-things-john-lee-hancock-30-year-odyssey-denzel-washington-rami-malek-jared-leto-hbo-max-controversy-1234660476/ being blindsided by the decision]] but ultimately accepted the rationale behind it.

** The service doesn't have Creator/DCComics content not owned by Warner Bros such as the 1966-68 ''[[Series/Batman1966 Batman]]'' series (owned by Disney) and ''Film/RoadToPerdition'' (co-owned by Creator/ParamountGlobal and Disney).
