Apple has struck an exclusive deal to carry HBO’s standalone streaming service HBO Now, the company said Monday.
“We are thrilled to be here this morning to announce our standalone streaming service HBO Now, and Apple is our exclusive partner,” HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler said.
Plepler added that the new product will be available in early April at a monthly price of $14.99.
The new service, which will launch in time for the upcoming fifth season of HBO’s dragons-and-swords hit “Game of Thrones,” will offer more than 2,000 titles online.
“HBO NOW is the next phase of innovation at HBO,” Plepler said.
