Despite HBO Max removing so many titles from the platform, September 2022 will still see some exciting additions – such as Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.
Alongside continued weekly releases of key TV series, HBO Max’s September 2022 additions include the streaming premiere of a hit new movie. HBO Max has undergone a massive shift in the availability of many Warner Bros.-owned projects and originals throughout August as the compare prepares for its streaming merge with Discovery. With little or no warning, HBO Max took off several original shows like Generation, canceled highly anticipated upcoming projects such as Batgirl, and removed nearly 200 episodes of the classic children’s series Sesame Street. Despite the platform cutting down on its available content, HBO Max is still making room for select new titles in upcoming months.
In August 2022, HBO Max saw the long-awaited series premiere of House of the Dragon, the first spinoff from HBO’s Game of Thrones. The month was also notable for the addition of movies from A24’s catalog, such as Ex Machina, The Spectacular Now, and Room. HBO Max’s new August 2022 titles similarly included the streaming debuts of the 2021 movies Belfast and Wolf. Before the end of the month, the popular shows Industry, Sweet Life: Los Angeles, and House of Ho returned for their second seasons. Another surprise for August was the streaming availability of Abbott Elementary season 1 on HBO Max.
The biggest title coming to HBO Max in September 2022 is Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis (September 2), the Austin Butler-starring biopic that had its theatrical premiere in June of this year. HBO Max subscribers can also look forward to new episodes of House of the Dragon, which will release weekly each Sunday in September. The month also marks the season 2 returns of the bilingual comedy series Los Espookys (September 16) and reality series The Hype (September 22). To celebrate Batman Day, HBO Max is premiering Secret Origin of the Batwheels on September 17, a special that explains how the Batwheels team was formed. Another exciting addition to the streaming service is the new Magnolia Network Spotlight Page (September 30), which includes select content from Chip and Joanna Gaines. In addition to these exciting arrivals, here’s everything else coming to HBO Max in September 2022.
