Everything coming to Max (formerly HBO Max) in October 2023

MEG 2: THE TRENCH - OFFICIAL TRAILER

It may be October, but Max is still acting like it’s blockbuster season. While past hits like The Last of Us are still available for consumption, Max is set to welcome a few fan-favorite films, as well as the streaming debut of one of summer’s standout hits.

Max’s October 2023 schedule includes the returns of The Gilded Age and Our Flag Means Death for their second seasons. In addition, the cult DC comics superhero show Doom Patrol emerges from its slumber with its final batch of episodes. Finally, this month marks the home premiere of the Jason Statham action movie Meg 2: The Trench. Max in October is the place for you if you like all kinds of content.

The 10 most popular shows on (HBO) Max right now
Kit Harington in Industry.

In any given month, the list of the 10 most popular shows on Max tends to have a turnover of around six to seven shows. August is no different. However, House of the Dragon is still hanging around at No. 2 on this list despite the fact that the season 2 finale aired earlier this month. That's very good staying power for the first Game of Thrones prequel series. That's also why HBO and Max have a third series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, coming next year.

Currently, the most popular show on HBO and Max is Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears. Leave it to the NFL to keep fans engaged even during the offseason, as this sports documentary has been a perennial performer for over two decades. Another big addition this month is Industry, which recently aired its third season premiere. It's currently at No. 8 on the list, but perhaps it can move up.

A woman stands in front of a cross with fire behind her.

The Wasteland is coming to Max. Warner Bros. Pictures announced that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will begin streaming exclusively on Max starting Friday, August 16, 2024. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa, a younger version of the character played by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a prequel set 15 to 20 years before the events of Fury Road. Divided into five chapters, Furiosa begins with the titular character as a child (Alyla Browne) in the Green Place of Many Mothers. While trying to protect her home, Furiosa is kidnapped by raiders and brought to Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), the warlord of the Biker Horde. Dementus kills Furiosa's mother (Charlee Fraser) and kidnaps the young girl.

The summer months are a great time for movies. From May to mid-August, studios will release their top blockbusters of the year in hopes of churning a huge profit.
