Ambani’s JioCinema has become the leading platform for live broadcasts by offering free access (with ads). Indian sports fans enjoyed the IPL 2023 after experiencing the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Now, JioCinema has collaborated with Warner Bros, promising another treat for Indian audiences.
JioCinema Partners with HBO and Warner Bros
Viacom 18-Jio Cinema India has signed a multi-year agreement with Warner Bros to bring their content back to us. This is a significant win for Team Ambani and for viewers, offering the return of favorite shows and new original series like the Harry Potter series, The Idol, and more, available on day one.
Recently, HBO and Warner Bros content exited Disney+ Hotstar, one of India’s largest streaming platforms, as their deal concluded. The JioCinema-HBO deal is welcome news, allowing fans to enjoy shows like The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Peacemaker, and others.
JioCinema will now host HBO Originals, Max Originals, and Warner Bros content starting May. Some confirmed streaming content includes:
| HBO’s Latest | HBO Originals | HBO Populars | Max Originals | Warner Bros TV Series |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| House of the Dragon | The Idol | True Detective | Peacemaker | Gotham Knights |

| The White Lotus | The Regime | Veep | Dune: The Sisterhood | |
| Euphoria | Chernobyl | The Batman Spinoff: The Penguin | ||
| Perry Mason | Sex & the City | Duster |
Currently, details regarding the subscription plans remain unknown. Recent rumors suggest JioCinema’s transition to a paid model, likely resulting from a collaboration with the online streaming service Voot, potentially leading to a renaming as JioVoot. A base plan is anticipated to be priced at Rs 99 for three months.
While not confirmed, this development brings anticipation for renewed access to HBO and Warner Bros content. With the ongoing Succession season, viewers can conveniently catch up on JioCinema. Do you believe this shift benefits Indian fans? Share your thoughts in the comments.
