Those looking for relaxing streaming series that will help them find comfort amid the pandemic need not look any further than HBO Max's collaboration with the popular [meditation app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindfulness-mobile) Calm. In October 2020, the partnership debuted 'A World of Calm.' This is a 10-episode viewing experience that combines "[mesmeric imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-mindfulness-movement)" and storytelling to promote peacefulness. Each episode is narrated by a well-known celebrity like Mahershala Ali, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, Oscar Isaac, Nicole Kidman, and more.

Jennifer O'Connell—the executive VP of non-fiction and kids programming for HBO Max—hopes that the relaxing streaming series "is one HBO Max original that becomes part of your daily routine," as it guides you on a meditative journey to find calmness in the chaos.
