As summer winds to an end, HBO Max is adding a plethora of movies and TV shows to binge through Fall 2021. With a mix of classics and new releases across all genres, there's a little bit of something for everyone in the streaming platform's fall lineup.
Far from just having the DC property, HBO Max has the rights to a wide array of media, including TV and movies from giants like Warner Bros., Adult Swim, and Turner Classic Films, in addition to its collection of Max Originals. Despite the controversies that came with deciding to release all of its 2021 films directly onto the platform, millions tuned in to see new releases like James Gunn's Suicide Squad and Mortal Kombat. As viewership made a massive shift towards streaming new releases during the COVID-19 pandemic, HBO Max rose to the occasion, providing a platform to replace theatrical releases while theaters across the country were shut down.
There are some great movies and shows coming to HBO Max in September 2021 and beyond. Clint Eastwood's Cry Macho hits the streaming platform on Sept. 17, the same day it's making its theatrical release. Dune, one of the biggest sci-fi releases of the year, is making its debut on HBO Max (Oct. 22), along with Will Smith's bio-pic King Richard (Nov. 19), season 3 of Doom Patrol (Sept. 23), and the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That... (TBA). Here's the full calendar of movies and TV shows coming to HBO Max in Fall 2o21.

Though a portion of HBO Max's Fall 2021 releases has yet to secure a release date, it's clear by the lineup that the streaming giant has plenty in store for viewers this season. As filming is slowly returning to normal following COVID-19 delays, there seems to be no shortage of new releases for hours of cozy binge-watching. With sci-fi flicks, bone-chilling horrors, intriguing docuseries, and nostalgic reboots, there's a little something for everyone coming to HBO Max. Though some movies are leaving the platform this fall, including James Gunn's Suicide Squad (Sept. 5) and both the Scream and Scary Movie franchises (Sept. 30), there are plenty of new movies and TV shows coming to HBO Max to fill their spots.
