Everything coming to Max (formerly HBO Max) in May 2024

Hacks Season 3 | Official Trailer | Max

April was a serious month for HBO and Max. The channel and streamer wrapped up season 2 of its excellent crime drama Tokyo Vice and premiered an unsettling political thriller, The Sympathizer, starring recent Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. In addition to those two shows, Max hosted the streaming debut of The Zone of Interest, one of the most unsettling and controversial Holocaust movies ever made.

So it’s not a surprise that Max is going to lighten up a little. Sure, there’s the odd devastating drama like The Iron Claw with Zac Efron, but there’s also the debut of Emmy-winning comedy Hacks‘ newest season. For those YA fans out there, John Green’s Turtles All the Way Down finally makes its way to small screens worldwide. There’s something for everyone this month on HBO and Max, so read below to find out something that suits your interests.

What’s new on HBO and Max in June 2024
Matt Smith in House of the Dragon.

Long before Max came along, Game of Thrones was one of the biggest hits in the history of HBO. The prequel series, House of the Dragon, hasn't quite reached those same heights. But after a two-year hiatus, it's good to have the dragons around again even if the second season will only have eight episodes instead of 10.

Most of the highlights this month come from HBO's original programming, including the new series Fantasmas, a documentary called Ren Faire, and a presentation of Jeremy O. Harris' Slave Play. As for the newly added movies in June, it's hard to get very excited about flicks like Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son and Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. There are some film highlights, including the 2013 remake of Evil Dead and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But for the most part, this month's movie lineup is very disappointing.

Oilers vs Panthers Game 5 live stream: Can you watch for free?
FLA Live Arena before Florida Panthers NHL game.

After coming up seven goals short in their bid for a first-ever Stanley Cup, the Florida Panthers return home for Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers tonight. The Panthers are still certainly in control of the series, but a loss here would make things significantly more uneasy, as the series would then head back to Edmonton for a Game 6.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup is about to begin, at 8:00 p.m. ET. If you live in the United States and want to watch, it will be televised on ABC, but if you don't have cable and would rather watch a live stream, there are also a bevy of different ways you can stream the NHL playoffs.
