Sky Max is a British pay television channel which launched on 1 September 2021 along with Sky Showcase. It is owned and operated by Sky Group, a subsidiary of Comcast.[1]
The channel was announced on 28 July 2021 to replace Sky One, which had been on air for nearly 40 years.[2][3] It broadcasts the entertainment and drama output previously shown on Sky One - the comedy output, for the most part, transferred to Sky Comedy.[4][5][6] An Italian version of Sky Max called Sky Serie launched on 1 July 2021 with significant different programming.
