Things are shaking up for HBO Max this September. A handful of promising new originals complement the streamer’s distinct catalogs as they slowly, but surely, continue to fill up. The nature of HBO Max’s library is quite peculiar within the current streaming landscape. Despite boasting notable titles from Warner Bros. and so forth, certain household names find themselves rotating in and out of HBO Max and competing platforms. The Harry Potter films saw the same fate last month, to great dismay from subscribers, and September is no different for the selection of what’s leaving is, unfortunately, jam packed.
Though the departures are arguably balanced with the latest arrivals. Original content this month is coming from prestigious filmmakers such as Ridley Scott and Luca Guadagnino. Classic must-see films such as The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon, and Marathon Man are making their way to HBO Max – seriously, make the time to watch these if anything. Of course, one can never go wrong with a re-watch of Point Break, V for Vendetta, or Snakes on a Plane as they also join the streamer.
One of the more crucial improvements to HBO Max this September, the Adult Swim library is seeing great growth. Fans should be pleased to finally see Black Dynamite, Sealab 2021, Moral Orel, Superjail!, The Brak Show, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, and Squidbillies nice at home in the Adult Swim catalog. Get the full list of everything coming to and leaving HBO Max below along with more of our streaming recs. See what’s also joining Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ this month!
Our Recs:
Raised by Wolves
Those who have been craving more sci-fi content from Ridley Scott need look no further. Raised by Wolves follows two androids whose mission is to restart human civilization on a new inhabitable planet. Fitting for Scott to be involved given the similar themes to his last two Alien films. Scott directing more androids as they contemplate life in the moody stretches of space is never a bad thing!
Unpregnant
A new comedic drama from Rachel Lee Goldenberg, Unpregnant follows the most unlikely cross-country road trip of two young girls. The world suddenly becomes a different place when you’re pregnant at 17, and this journey will definitely bring out a life lesson like no other. Starring Haley Lu Richardson, Barbie Ferreira, and Giancarlo Esposito, this has all the elements for what could be one of 2020’s most unique coming-of-age films.
We Are Who We Are
Speaking of the coming-of-age genre, We Are Who We Are is the latest from Luca Guadagnino. This miniseries follows two American kids living on a U.S military base in Italy. The two experience young love as they explore identity and interpersonal relationships. Lead by Jack Dylan Grazer and Jordan Kristine Seamón, all eyes are on what will surely be at least an interesting watch. The trailer already radiates the same energy and aesthetics from Guadagnino’s previous works (Call Me By Your Name specifically).
