The service, owned by AT&T Inc (T.N), entered Europe in October by launching in the Nordics and Spain, with a host of promotional offers to grab customers from Netflix Inc and Walt Disney Co’s (DIS.N) Disney+.

In Eastern Europe and Portugal, apart from an attractive monthly price, customers signing up during the launch offer will get 33% off from the regular price for life, Johannes Larcher, head of HBO Max International, said in an interview.

The monthly subscription for HBO Portugal was 4.99 euros ($5.59) per month and HBO Max will be priced at 5.99 euros, but existing subscribers and the ones who sign up in March will have to pay 3.99 euros a month.

Unlike the promotional launch offers in the Nordics and Spain, existing customers in the new markets will get the reduced price for life.

The company did not disclose prices for the Netherlands.

“We only started launching HBO Max in new markets in the middle of last year and added almost 8 million subscribers outside the U.S. in 2021,” Larcher said.

HBO ended the year with 73.8 million subscribers for its streaming service and namesake cable network. read more

It plans to launch the service in another six European countries, including Greece and Turkey, later this year.

However, HBO Max will not be available in the UK, Germany and Italy for the next few years due to an existing deal with Sky.

While the company has plans to launch HBO Max in 190 countries by 2026, it has not announced any plans for Asia yet.

“We are working hard on preparing for a potential launch in Asia … it’s fair to expect that Southeast Asia would probably be the first market in Asia we would go in with HBO Max,” Larcher said.

Gbenjo made the appeal during a night of tributes held in honour of the late musician at the Jogor Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State. Addressing the gathering, he passionately urged individuals allegedly behind any underhanded tactics to halt their actions immediately.

Describing Toluwanisings as a devoted servant of God and a man of integrity, Gbenjo noted that the late singer possessed a pure heart and was a friend to all.

Cautioning against attempts to distort facts or control narratives regarding the tragic event, Gbenjo stated that whoever was orchestrating such moves should desist. He called on attendees to collectively reject such actions, leading them in a unified stance against perceived malice.

The remarks come amid heightened emotions and grief surrounding Toluwanisings’ passing, which occurred on October 14, 2026. Fellow artistes and industry colleagues at the memorial event paid glowing tributes, demanding sincerity and peace as the public comes to terms with the loss.
