Watch the culture. Create around it.
HBO Max is bringing a new slate of original series, documentaries, comedy and major movies to streaming in October 2026.
Leading the month is the new HBO/Sky drama War, starring Dominic West, Sienna Miller, Phoebe Fox and James McArdle. The eight-episode legal drama follows two powerful London law firms battling over the high-profile divorce of a British tech entrepreneur and an international movie star. War premieres October 1, with new episodes arriving weekly on Thursdays.
Movie fans have several notable premieres coming as well. Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried star in the thriller The Housemaid, arriving October 9, while Hugh Jackman takes on a very different version of the legendary outlaw in A24’s The Death of Robin Hood on October 16.
Another A24 film, The Invite, arrives October 23, starring Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton in a story about a troubled marriage and a dinner party with the upstairs neighbors that takes an unexpected turn.
October also brings the return of Rage (Furia) for Season 2, the new comedy special Kate Berlant: Parmesan, and two HBO documentaries: The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story and Kordell Stewart: Slash & Burn.
