HBO Max (NASDAQ:WBD) has returned to Amazon Prime Video Channels (NASDAQ:AMZN) after a year away when the two companies' deal lapsed.
The news means that Amazon's Prime customers can sign up for HBO Max directly through Prime Video for HBO Max's subscription fee of $14.99 per month.

Subscribers through Prime Video will also get access to the expanded streaming service coming when Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) merges HBO Max with Discovery+, due in the spring.
HBO Max fell off the Prime Video Channels offering in September 2021 as WarnerMedia and Amazon failed to come to a deal extension.
HBO Max indicated it would lose about 5M subscribers when it dropped out of Prime Video Channels.
Now, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is reportedly looking at cutting out the "HBO" and going with "Max" as the name of the combined service.
