It’s a big month for HBO Max.
With some big-name series wrapping up and others preparing to begin, there’s a lot to watch on the recently-renamed streaming service this month. One of the biggest releases of the month will be the long-awaited “It: Welcome to Derry,” which returns viewers to Stephen King’s horror world featuring Pennywise the Clown (again played by Bill Skarsgård).
Fans of Tim Robinson will see the “I Think You Should Leave” star lead another series this October as he dives deep into an office-set conspiracy in “The Chair Company.” The series was created by Robinson and Zach Kanin, who collaborated on “Saturday Night Live,” “Detroiters” and “I Think You Should Leave.” The first episode was directed by Andrew DeYoung, who helmed “Friendship” — a film starring Robinson and Paul Rudd that was added to HBO Max in September.
HBO Max also has a number of new releases to treat subscribers. 2025’s “Bring Her Back,” from “Talk to Me” directors Danny and Michael Philippou, will start streaming on Oct. 3, just in time for Halloween. Eva Victor’s critically acclaimed debut “Sorry, Baby” — which they wrote, directed and starred in — will start streaming Oct. 30.
There can still be some surprises in store for HBO Max subscribers. It wasn’t until mid-September that audiences learned “Superman” would be flying onto the streaming service on Sept. 19 — just in time for a significant “Peacemaker” crossover. DC fans can also witness the end of “Peacemaker” Season 2 on HBO Max on Oct. 9.
