Following several major releases on the service in April, HBO Max has plenty of exciting titles arriving in May 2022. While HBO Max has done away with its day-and-date streaming premieres for major films, the streaming service is still seeing the return of some of its most significant 2021 and 2022 releases. Aside from its theatrical premieres, the platform’s original content continues to grow, with many new and returning TV shows to look forward to in the coming months.
In April 2022, HBO Max’s title additions included several movie streaming debuts, with the critically acclaimed Robert Pattinson-led The Batman arriving on the service halfway through the month. April 2022 also marked the long-awaited debuts of the 2021 horror movies The Night House and The Forever Purge. The streaming platform’s new content for April 2022 primarily consisted of TV series premieres, including Barry season 3, The Flight Attendant season 2, Tokyo Vice season 1, and We Own This City season 1.
May 2022 will see the premieres of several new and returning TV shows on HBO Max, including the debut of the Emmy-winning original series Hacks season 2 (May 12). Anticipated series also arriving in May 2022 are The Staircase (May 5), Rose Leslie and Theo James’ The Time Traveler’s Wife (May 15), and That Damn Michael Che season 2 (May 26). HBO Max’s May 2022 titles also include the streaming returns and debuts of 2021 movies like Dear Evan Hansen, which earned mixed reviews (May 6), The Matrix Resurrections (May 10), and M. Night Shyamalan’s Old (May 13). Here’s every other movie and TV show coming to HBO Max in May 2022.

While May 2022 won't see as many TV show and movie premieres as usual, HBO Max still has to make room for all of the new additions to its catalog, so many beloved titles will also be exiting by the end of the month. Some of the notable titles leaving HBO Max by May 31 include The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Pride and Prejudice (2005), Clueless, the Keanu Reeves-starring action thriller Speed, and Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolittle movies. Following May 2022's arrivals, HBO Max subscribers can also look forward to titles dropping on the service later in the year, including the Father of the Bride reboot movie in June and the Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon in August.
