At launch, the service will stream six so-called Max Originals, including Love Life; the documentary film On the Record, which is probably best known for being controversial enough that Oprah Winfrey and Apple pulled out of it; an underground ballroom dance competition series called Legendary; Craftopia, hosted by YouTuber LaurDIY; new Looney Tunes cartoons; and Sesame Workshop's The Not Too Late Show with Elmo.
