Max has set revered Italian auteur Marco Bellocchio’s TV series “Portobello” as its first Italian scripted original. The show tells the story of Italian TV host Enzo Tortora, who was a victim of one of Italy’s most clamorous travesties of justice, and will debut on the platform in 2026.

Max is now available in some 25 countries in Europe, spanning Spain, France, Benelux, the Nordics and Central and Eastern Europe. It’s now clear that the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streamer will also be operational in Italy by 2026.
