HBO Now is the standalone paid streaming subscription for HBO. So, you don't need a cable plan to use it like HBO Go. If you are a subscriber, head into the Assistant settings (or Google Home app) to add your account. You'll find the necessary menu under "Videos and photo." Simply tap the link button and sign into HBO Now.

With your account linked, you can use Assistant commands to call up TV shows and movies from HBO Now, and have them play on a specified Chromecast device. This feature was announced way back at I/O in May, so Google and HBO sure took their time to work things out. Oh well, better late than never.
