Max Cracking Down On Password Sharing
Max is going to start cracking down on password sharing next week.
The password rollout will likely happen slowly over the next year, with the streaming service planning to introduce an option to “essentially add a member” during the first quarter of 2025. They say this move is to determine who is likely sharing a password and who may just be using the account at a vacation home.
As the company gathers more data, the filter for potential password sharing will be refined until it “really begins to kick in in the back half of 2025 and into the following year.
Upcoming timelines for the new seasons of “Euphoria” and “The Last of Us” were also unveiled in addition to laying out a rough schedule for new shows and seasons coming to Max:
- 2025: “IT: Welcome to Derry,” a prequel based on the Stephen King horror novel “IT”
- January 2025: “The Pitt,” a new 15-episode TV series following the challenges faced by healthcare workers in Pittsburgh.
- February 2025: Season 3 of “The White Lotus,” this time set in the luxury hotel chain’s majestic Thailand location.
- Mid-2025: Season 2 of the critically acclaimed video game adaptation “The Last of Us”
- Summer 2025: “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” a smaller-scale “Game of Thrones” spinoff.
