HBO Max is introducing a new shuffle button, which will allow viewers to play a random episode from one of 45 streaming TV series.
Unlike Netflix’s “Play Something” function—which automatically picks a TV show or film based on your viewing history and watch list—HBO Max’s version is limited to a curated list of programs, and globally available only via the desktop (web browser) interface. Once you’ve selected a show, HBO will decide which episode from that show to play, taking the decision out of your hands.
“With an added element of serendipity, selecting the shuffle button lets you kick your feet up and start watching faster,” HBO Max parent company WarnerMedia told VarietyVariety. The entertainment conglomerate did not immediately respond to PCMag’s request for comment.
From comedies and reality TV to animation and drama, there’s something for everyone to watch willy-nilly. The full list of what’s available will change depending on your location, and the current 45 series limit may expand. Seeing as HBO states the shuffle button is one of its most requested features, expect it to appear as an option every time a new TV series joins the service.
