There’s plenty of exciting new content in store forMaxin 2024. House of the Dragon returned for its second season, and the long anticipated Batman spin-off, The Penguin is due to premiere later in the year. While the former saw the HBO Max free trial reinstated for a limited time, that offer has sadly come to an end. There are still other means to get a great saving though, particularly if you choose to pay for a years subscription upfront.

While HBO Max’s trial period was available at launch, it’s long since been discontinued.Even with the rebrand to Maxthere has been no sign of it being permanently reinstated, though perhaps we can expect it to crop up as a flash offer again in the future. As ever, this is the page to keep up to date on the availability of a Max free trial so you can watch all thebest Max moviesas well as thebest Max TV showsthe cheapest way possible.

Is there a Max free trial available?

I’m afraid to say there’s no HBO Max free trial currently. Warner Bros. did revive it for a brief period in June 2024. Other than that, it’s not been seen since the service launched in the US in May 2020 and met its demise in early December of the same year.

At the time the HBO Max free trial was available to help uncertain customers decide whether the fledgling streaming service was for them for 7 days.

Much like theDisney Plus free trialprior to its release of Hamilton, the Max free trial disappeared before the release of one of its biggest titles to date, Wonder Woman 1984.

While Max has, in more recent times, launched in parts of Europe and Nordic countries, there’s been no sign of a HBO Max free trial in new territories directly through the site, though its rebrand to Max inline with the Discovery Inc. merger will see the service arriving in more countries, giving potential for the free trial to be revived.

Are there other ways to get a Max free trial?

Those in the US are still able to secure access to Max for free if theysign up to one of Cricket Wireless' $60 unlimited plans, with the ad-supported plan thrown in at no extra cost.

There was a time when you could also get a Max free trial when adding it to yourHulu plan. However, thisstreaming deal, along with adding to your Prime Video subscription, has ended.

What’s the cheapest way to get Max without a free trial?

You cansave up to 20% by committing to an annual planacross any of its three plans.Starting at $99.99 a yearfor its ad-supported plan, go ad free and pay $149.99 annually, or Max’s Ultimate Ad-Free plan is the only way to get4Kstreams, costing $199.99 a year.

While the HBO Max free trial has gone for customers in the US – for now – potential subscribers can still check out some of their biggest shows for nothing. Just visit theFree Episodessection of its website to enjoy a small sample of their content: ranging from award-winning show Succession, new Kate Winslet hit The Regime, and Pedro Pascal’s The Last of Us.

What can I watch on Max?

Pure TV gold. It’s got everything HBO ever produced, including critically acclaimed hits, while also being the exclusive home to sitcoms like Friends and The Big Bang Theory. Some of its titles include:

It also hosts films from dozens of major studios. Paramount Pictures, MGM, and Warner Bros all make an appearance, which means viewers can immerse themselves in cinema classics from the Hollywood Golden Age (Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz) all the way up to contemporary blockbusters like 2019’s Joker, and the award-winning animation ofStudio Ghibli.
