HBO Max is getting into business with Ellen DeGeneres. The comedian announced the shows Friday on her daytime talk showThe WarnerMedia streaming platform has greenlit three series from the comedian — the unscripted shows Ellen’s Home Design Challenge and First Dates Hotel and the animated kids’ series Little Ellen — and is developing a fourth, a docuseries titled Finding Einstein.
DeGeneres announced the news Friday on her daytime talk show — and also gave each member of the studio audience a free two-year subscription to HBO Max, which is scheduled to launch in the spring.
“Ellen is a singular talent, and a powerhouse, creative triple-threat that we are lucky to have now bringing her talents to bear on behalf of HBO Max,” Kevin Reilly, chief content officer for HBO Max and president of TNT, TBS and TruTV, said in a statement. “Ellen’s flair for home design and matchmaking will most certainly inspire and delight — but HBO Max is full service, so as not to leave the kids out she’s bringing them back to the hilarious misadventures of her childhood in an imaginative animated series.”
Said DeGeneres, “I’m very excited to bring my new shows to HBO Max. I don’t know who Max is, but I can’t wait to work with him.”
