Despite HBO Max hiking prices again last fall, the streamer is hoping to win over some new customers, with a 7-day free trial through Prime Video, just in time for the buzzy premiere of “Lanterns” and awards season pushes for critically-acclaimed shows like “Hacks” and “The Pitt.”
If you already have a Prime account, you can just sign in and add an HBO Max account free of charge. Once the week-long trial ends, the ad-supported HBO Max subscription will resume at its regular price of $10.99/month.
There’s never been a better time to add an HBO Max subscription (formerly “Max”) to your Prime Video streaming arsenal. HBO Max has had an exciting lineup of can’t-miss new releases for 2026, including “DTF St. Louis,” the return of Lisa Kudrow’s “The Comeback” and the “Big Bang Theory” spin-off, “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.”
Returning favorites this year also included the third season of “The White Lotus” and the final season of “Euphoria.”
