Since HBO NOW made the transition to HBO Max, the service has seen some changes, most notably the bigger content catalog for those that are not always in the mood for “It’s not TV, it’s HBO” type of television. That includes classic shows like Friends, The Big Bang Theory and The West Wing to name a few. Also, in case you missed it, the highly anticipated Snyder Cut of the Justice League, the 4-hour superhero epic debuted on HBO Max on March 18.
Because of the pandemic, HBO Max is also premiering movies for a limited time on HBO Max and theaters simultaneously. On that front, the HBO Max will bring us Godzilla vs. Kong on March 31 and Mortal Kombat on April 16.
New series from HBO Max in April include shows like Made For Love, which is a sort of dark sci-fi romantic comedy (something akin to a Black Mirror-esque romantic comedy), and is about a woman trying to escape her husband who put a tracking device on her. There’s also Mare of Easttown, is a new murder mystery limited series starring Kate Winslet, which will premiere on April 18, and The Nevers, a new sci-fi series from Joss Whedon called.
Of course, there’s also older stuff coming to HBO Max as well, like Goodfellas, Space Jam, Sneakers, Risky Business and more.
