HBO Max to join Cellcom TV+, offering new shows as Israeli streaming competition grows reports that Cellcom is expanding its pay-TV and fiber offering by adding HBO Max to Cellcom TV+. The Israeli telecommunications company said the change begins through an expanded package and a summer promotion announced Sunday. Under the deal, new customers receive Cellcom fiber-optic internet, Cellcom TV+, and HBO Max Standard for NIS 99 per month for the first three months. Existing Cellcom TV+ subscribers can add HBO Max Standard and get the first three months without additional charge.

Cellcom says HBO Max includes HBO dramas such as House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and The Pitt, alongside Warner Bros. Discovery titles and international hits like Friends and The Big Bang Theory. For August, Cellcom listed additional series coming to Cellcom TV+, including Canadian hockey comedy Shoresy (first two seasons), British comedy-drama Flowers starring Olivia Colman, and Greek crime and mystery drama Save Me. It also plans to add season three of Lioness starring Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman, plus season two of Emmy-winning Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne and Boston Blue starring Donnie Wahlberg.
