HBO announced on Tuesday that their streaming service HBO Max will launch in May 2020 for $14.99 a month (existing HBO customers and HBO Now direct subscribers will get it bundled for free), as well as a feature it calls "human-powered discovery."

"Talent & influencers will be the humans behind our Recommended by Humans feature, sharing the content they love and why it's worth watching," it announced in a tweet.

The service will also offer "co-viewing", a joint profile that gives recommendations based upon joint views without interfering with personal profiles.

In addition, the company announced a Game of Thrones prequel as the crown jewel in their upcoming slate for HBO. Co-created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal, the Targaryen prequel House of the Dragon will also be written by Condal, and both he and Miguel Sapochnik will act as showrunners.

It isn't clear exactly when all this content will land on HBO Max, with some available at launch and others arriving a later date.

But when it does, there'll be more than enough binge-fuel to last you a good long while — in case you hadn't done the maths, 10,000 hours of content is more than 416 days of nonstop viewing.

May God have mercy on your couch.
