It’s hard to keep up with what’s streaming where (and when), so we’re making it easier with a simple guide to what’s new on HBO Max this week. There are three highlight titles to know, as well as new episodes of a couple of ongoing series.
First up, we’ve got the premiere of the latest baking competition from Magnolia Network — and with a gingerbread theme, it’s a seasonal stream too. The same day, HBO releases its new documentary, “Thoughts & Prayers,” which investigates the $3 billion active shooter preparedness industry. Finally, on Thursday, HBO Max is getting a slept-on 2023 thriller.
