Everything leaving Max (formerly HBO Max) in September 2023

All good things must come to an end: romances, seasons, Barbenheimer. That’s never been more true for streaming content libraries. Every month, as more movies and shows are added to each of the many streamers out there, it seems just as much content leaves as well.

HBO Max isn’t immune to this cruel cycle, and in September 2023, a fair amount of films are leaving the service for an undetermined amount of time. From several Mortal Kombat movies (just in time for the video game release of Mortal Kombat 1) to the excellent classic movies Terms of Endearment and Klute to the 1996 summer blockbuster Twister, there’s a lot of good stuff leaving, so check out the list below and try to watch some of these gems before they leave Max for good (or at least a long while).

Editor’s note: This list may not be comprehensive and is subject to change by the network/streamer.

The Last of Us season 2: HBO releases new images of Joel and Ellie
Bella Ramsey wields a shotgun in The Last of Us.

Joel and Ellie are back in the first look at The Last of Us season 2. HBO released new images featuring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey during Tuesday's Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront presentation. The second season will premiere in 2025 on HBO and Max.

Based on Naughty Dog's beloved video games for PlayStation, The Last of Us stars Pascal as Joel, a jaded survivor of a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection. Ramsey plays Ellie, a 14-year-old girl who may hold the key to finding a cure. Joel is hired to smuggle Ellie out of a quarantine zone. "What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey," the official logline reads, "as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival."

Starting next week, Dune fans can return to Arrakis in the comfort of their own homes. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced that Dune: Part Two will be available to stream on Max on May 21.

Dune: Part Two continues the epic story of Paul Atreides (Wonka star Timothée Chalamet), who teams with the Fremen to seek revenge on those who killed his family. Dune: Part Two's A-list cast includes Zendaya (Challengers), Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Léa Seydoux, Souheila Yacoub, Christopher Walken, Charlotte Rampling, Stellan Skarsgård, and Javier Bardem.
Dune: Part Two was directed by Denis Villeneuve from a script he co-wrote with Jon Spaihts. Based on Frank Herbert's landmark novel, Dune: Part Two received nearly universal acclaim from fans and critics. In his review, Digital Trends' A.A. Dowd called the blockbuster a "beautifully numbing sci-fi epic."

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)
