Another month, another selection of new movies and TV series to watch on HBO Max!
Soon to relaunch as just ‘Max’, HBO Max is an American streaming platform from HBO, featuring a huge selection of movies and TV series, along with brand new Max Originals.
The service is currently only available in the US, but we’ll let you know if and when it launches elsewhere.
