Max replaces BluTV in Turkey

April 17, 2025 12.26 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Max is now available in the Turkish market where BluTV has evolved into the international premium streaming service from Warner Bros Discovery.

Existing subscribers in Turkey can sign in to the new platform. Several thousand more hours of content have been added, with WBD promising an expanded slate of Turkish productions.

At a launch event, Warner Bros Discovery announced three new Turkish local originals, set to debut on Max. Anatomy of Chaos, Jasmin, and Feride. Additionally, a first look at the previously announced Turkish originals First Göktürk, Prince season 3, and Çekiç ve Gül: Bir Behzat Ç. Hikayesi season 3 were revealed.

As of launch, all new Turkish productions and local returning seasons will carry the Max Originals brand and will also be released globally, subject to local rights availability.

Jamie Cooke, General Manager CEE, MENA and Türkiye at Warner Bros. Discovery said: “Bringing Max to Turkey is a key milestone for Warner Bros. Discovery and marks the completion of the successful integration of BluTV into our portfolio. The enhanced platform enables us to strengthen our footprint in the region as we offer an even broader selection of world-class entertainment. Turkey has an incredibly rich storytelling heritage, and with Max, we are delivering a premium streaming experience that combines the best of global and local content.”

Deniz Şaşmaz Oflaz, Vice President of Local Original Productions, Local Channels and Streaming Operations Lead for Türkiye added the launch was a defining moment for WBD’s presence in Turkey. “The country has a vibrant storytelling tradition and a thriving entertainment industry. With Max, we are not only bringing our world-class content to Turkish audiences, we are also increasing our investment in local talent and productions that celebrate Turkey’s unique culture and stories.” 

Max offers thousands of hours of content, combining an unparalleled lineup of entertainment from Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, HBO Originals, Max Originals, Discovery, TLC, and Cartoon Network.
