Max is the new home for HBO series and movies, Max Originals, and smash-hit reality series. Here’s a look at what you can stream.

Far-flung fantasy

Princess Rhaenyra navigates cunning plots and jaw-dropping family drama within House Targaryen in House of the Dragon.

Fancy hopping on the train to Hogwarts? Making your way to Middle-earth? Or checking in with the caste intrigue of Westeros? Explore epic fantasy worlds including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter collection, the Lord of the Rings films, or the award-winning, fire-breathing series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.

The ultimate antiheroes

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey star in The Last of Us—a sprawling adaptation of the blockbuster videogames.

We can’t help rooting for Max’s murderers’ row of memorable antiheroes, including the titular Hollywood hitman of Barry, The Last of Us’s hardened apocalypse survivor, Joel, and Euphoria’s troubled teenage drug addict, Rue. The deep catalog of completed series (most notably, the original antihero drama, The Sopranos) and current favorites (True Detective, anyone?) will keep you equally fascinated with and fearful of these flawed characters.

Seriously funny comedy

In Abbott Elementary, comedian Quinta Brunson shines as a spirited teacher at a Philadelphia elementary school.

Whatever your taste in comedy, Max has a show for you. For smash-hit sitcoms, it’s hard to beat Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and Abbott Elementary. Enjoy amping up the absurd for maximum cringe? Try Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal, How To With John Wilson, or Curb Your Enthusiasm. Or if you prefer to learn while you laugh, give Last Week Tonight With John Oliver a shot.

Privileged people behaving badly

Indulge in a little schadenfreude watching the misadventures of these troubled travelers—and beleaguered staffers—at luxury White Lotus resorts around the world.

From the boardrooms of Succession to the beaches of The White Lotus, Max has the market cornered for series showcasing the messy lives of the 1 percent. Dip into the self-absorbed delusional drama of Upper East Side teens in Gossip Girl, cutthroat bankers in Industry, terrible televangelists in The Righteous Gemstones, and more.

The DC Extended Universe

The Penguin follows the transformation of Oz Cobb from a nobody to a notorious villain on his quest for power and control in Gotham City.

Ready your cape and cowl! All of your favorite DC heroes (and beloved baddies) are here. Stream smash superhero films like Aquaman, The Batman, Wonder Woman 1984, and Justice League. Or dive into a gripping superhero tale with action-packed series like Titans, Peacemaker, and Doom Patrol.

Stranger than fiction

Big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara and his peers push the boundaries of their sport in the thrilling docuseries 100 Foot Wave.

Max has a huge library of reality series and documentaries. Investigate rumors and urban legends with the intrepid hosts of MythBusters. Play armchair detective with true-crime picks like The Vow, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, and The Jinx. Or witness the perilous adventures of Alaskan fishermen in Deadliest Catch and big-wave surfers in 100 Foot Wave.
