As Warner Bros’ HBO Max soon reaches its third year as a streaming service this May, some changes are afoot. WarnerMedia and Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced on Wednesday that it will be rebranded to be named “Max” instead and there’s a ton of exciting new exclusive series coming to the platform, notably from The Big Bang Theory and Conjuring universes.
The Big Bang Theory is among the most-watched sitcoms of all time, finding a 12-season run along with Warner Bros. Television launching its prequel, Young Sheldon, which is currently in its sixth season. As announced today in a press release, Big Bang Theory creator Chuck Lorre is now developing another comedy that will draw from the world of the beloved sitcom. What exactly will that be? Plot details have yet to be disclosed.
In addition to more Big Bang Theory coming to audiences, Warner Bros has also unveiled that it will be taking The Conjuring universe to a serial format for the first time. James Wan and his Atomic Monster Productions in concert with Peter Safran are working on a drama series “based on the films” as well. The mysterious series announcement comes following eight Conjuring movies being released in the past decade and more films on the way, starting with The Nun 2 hitting theaters this fall.
