HBO (Home Box Office) is one of the oldest and most prestigious premium television networks in the United States, which later launched its own streaming service, HBO Max. HBO is known worldwide for producing groundbreaking series, films, and documentaries.
History: HBO was founded in 1972 by Time Inc. as the first paid television network in the United States. In the beginning, the network offered mainly films without interruptions of commercials, which made it immediately popular with viewers looking for an uncensored movie experience. In the 1980s, HBO expanded its offering with original series, including the legendary show “The Sopranos” (1999), which paved the way for other groundbreaking series.
