Available on platforms and devices throughout the continent, Max is also launching on Amazon Fire TV in markets where it is available and through selected TV distribution partners in each country. A further roll out of the service in June will ensure Max is streamed in France, Poland and Monaco with WBD aiming to increase the number of European countries in which its service is available to 25 by July.
