100 Years of Warner Bros. Trailer: Max Documentary Special Celebrates Studio's Centennial

Warner Bros. Discovery is celebrating 100 Years of Warner Bros. with a new four-part documentary series that will stream on Max. The first two documentaries will premiere on the enhanced streaming platform formerly known as HBO Max on May 25th, with the remaining two parts available to stream June 1st. Directed by Academy Award and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks and narrated by Morgan Freeman, 100 Years of Warner Bros. features clips from the studio's iconic films and TV series as it offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into the indelible stories that have spoken to audiences around the world for generations.

According to the official description: "Exploring the impact of Warner Bros. on art, commerce, and culture, 100 Years of Warner Bros. tells the unprecedented story of the fabled entertainment studio on its 100th anniversary. Featuring insights and first-person stories from directors, actors, executives, journalists and historians, the four specials trace Warner Bros.' underdog origins — from its founding in the early 1920s by four brothers from an immigrant family, through decades of creative risks and impactful storytelling, to the historic mergers of the 2000s that transformed the company into a global entertainment powerhouse."
