What's available

HBO Max in the Netherlands gives you access to a strong lineup of HBO originals and Warner Bros. content. You can stream flagship series like The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Succession, Euphoria, and The White Lotus. Films include major Warner Bros. releases such as Dune: Part Two, Barbie, and the DC Extended Universe catalog. Dutch subscribers also get access to True Detective, Chernobyl, and Barry. Max Originals like The Penguin and And Just Like That... are available, along with a solid selection of documentaries and animated titles including Rick and Morty.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library, Dutch subscribers miss out on a notable amount of content. Several Warner Bros. theatrical films arrive later or not at all. You won't find the full Looney Tunes catalog, and the US library holds exclusive sports content through Max Sports that isn't offered in the Netherlands. Titles like South Park, certain Adult Swim programming, and some older HBO catalog films are either absent or geo-restricted. The US version also tends to get new releases faster, including same-day theatrical debuts under the old HBO Max model.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your apparent location so streaming platforms serve you content from a different country's library. To access the full US HBO Max library, connect your VPN to a United States server, then open Max and log in or create an account.

We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It reliably unblocks Max, offers fast speeds for HD and 4K streaming, and has dozens of US server locations to choose from. If one server gets blocked, switching to another takes seconds.

Pricing

  • With Ads: approximately €5.99/month
  • Ad-Free: approximately €9.99/month
  • Ultimate: approximately €13.99/month, includes 4K streaming and more simultaneous screens

Pricing may change, so check the Max website directly for the latest figures.

Our recommendation

If you're in the Netherlands and happy sticking to HBO originals like House of the Dragon or The Last of Us, the local Max library covers you well. But if you want the complete US catalog — faster new releases, exclusive titles, and broader film selection — pair your subscription with NordVPN, connect to a US server, and you'll unlock everything the platform has to offer. It's a simple upgrade that makes a real difference.
