HBO releases the first new 'Looney Tunes' episode on YouTube

You may or may not know that there's a new modern version of the Looney Tunes coming out on the HBO Max streaming service. HBO released the first episode of the new Looney Tunes on YouTube for free to help promote the platform. The service is all set to launch in the US on May 27. This new take on the classic cartoon is one of the original titles that'll be exclusive to the service.

As MobileSyrup reports, HBO Max content might be going mostly to Bell Media's Crave streaming service. But they speculate that CTV might get some as well. We hope that as the release date draws near, we find out more about where we can access content from the service.
