What's available

HBO Max launched in France in 2024, giving French subscribers access to a solid library of HBO originals and Warner Bros. content. You can stream flagship series like The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Succession, The White Lotus, and Euphoria. Film fans get access to Warner Bros. theatrical releases including Dune: Part Two, Barbie, and the DC extended universe catalog. Max Originals like The Idol and True Detective: Night Country are also available.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library, the French catalog has notable gaps. Several titles are tied up in local licensing deals, meaning you won't find them on Max France. Missing content includes:

  • Curb Your Enthusiasm — older seasons are locked behind other platforms
  • Six Feet Under and The Wire — not consistently available in France
  • His Dark Materials — licensed to other broadcasters in France
  • Select Warner Bros. films that remain exclusive to Canal+ or Prime Video France
  • Some Max Original documentaries and sports content tied to US rights deals

How to access other regions

If you want the full US library, a VPN is your best option. A VPN masks your real location and makes streaming platforms think you're browsing from another country. To access the US version of Max, connect your VPN to a United States server, then sign in or create a Max account. Our top recommendation is NordVPN — it offers fast servers optimized for streaming, reliably unblocks Max, and works across all your devices. Simply download NordVPN, select a US server, and reload Max in your browser or app.

Pricing

Max in France is currently available starting at approximately €5.99 per month for the ad-supported tier. The ad-free standard plan runs around €9.99 per month, and the Ultimate plan with 4K streaming is priced at roughly €13.99 per month. Pricing may vary based on promotions or annual billing discounts available at the time you subscribe.

Our recommendation

If you're in France and already paying for Max, you're getting access to some genuinely great content — but you are missing a chunk of the US library due to local licensing. We recommend pairing your Max subscription with NordVPN so you can switch between the French and US catalogs depending on what you want to watch. It's a simple setup that dramatically expands what's available to you.
