The most exciting time of the month is when you get a look ahead at what new shows and movies are heading to yourfavorite streaming service.Netflix, Hulu, and Max all keep their libraries fresh with a new cycle of shows and movies every month to get you excited and hopefully not cancel your subscription. Sure, most of us still haven’t watched everything released last month, but we still love to know what’s on the horizon.
September is looking to be another banger month on Max
September is looking to be another banger month on Max. We’ve got new seasons diving into theorigins of a supervillain, original series entering their final seasons, and amazing anime films that are essential viewing all dropping over the next few weeks. Here are the highlights of what you should put on your watch list, plus a full breakdown of everything coming (and leaving) Max.
HBO’s budget cuts are strangling the potential of House of the Dragon
A disappointing second season from House of the Dragon could be the signal the collapse of HBO’s Game of Thrones dynasty.
The Boy and the Heron
Miyazaki’s final* film
If we had a nickel for every film Miyazaki said was his last, we’d never have to worry about paying for parking again. However, when the man can make films this brilliant and beautifully animated, we can’t be mad. The Boy and the Heron features a boy named Mahito who moves to the countryside after losing his mother in a fire. From there, a story of magical realism, symbolism, and introspection unfolds. This is a deeply moving film that may be hard to wrap your head around in a literal sense, but you will come away with something meaningful in your heart no matter what.
5 anime video games better than their shows
I love anime, but hate filler. These anime video games cut out all the fluff and put you right into the action.
The Penguin
A new class of criminal
Following the events of The Batman, The Penguin will give Colin Farrel’s Oz Cobb (aka The Penguin) his own 8 episode run to build him up for the next film. While most details are sparse, it will center on Cobb’s ascent through Gotham’s underworld to the criminal mastermind we are more familiar with. This will give us a deeper look into the complex nature of the man in a way that wouldn’t be possible within the constraints of a film. The main antagonist will be Sofia Falcone who has just been released from Arkham Asylum and joins the power struggle for Gotham’s fate.

My Brilliant Friend
The final season
Based on the hit series of novels of the same name by Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend will come to a close with the fourth season. The show follows Elena Greco and Raffaella “Lila” Cerullo from their childhood in 1950s Naples over the course of over 60 years of their lives. As the story goes on, more and more mysteries surrounding Lila come up and their relationship drastically changes shape. This last entry will be called Story of the Lost Child and brings in the political unrest Italy underwent in the late ’80s to further complicate their personal lives. With only 10 episodes left, there’s a lot of questions we can’t wait to be answered.

Wise Guy David Chase and the Sopranos
The show that put HBO on the map
Wise Guy David Chase and The Sopranos
We can thank HBO and The Sopranos for starting the golden age of TV as we know it. Before this show broke new ground in storytelling and direction, the best we got was multi-cam sitcoms and low-budget sci-fi shows. The Sopranos changed the game, and Wise Guy David Chase is taking us back to investigate how this show came to be. Split into two parts, you will see the thought process behind many of the influential people responsible for the show, including writers, producers, and even actors.
Get your first glimpse of The Last of Us Season 2
Joel and Ellie are back alongside new friends and foes in the first Last of Us Season 2 teaser.
A little too close to home
If you’re a little nervous about the state of politics right now, maybe skip on Alex Garland’s Civil War. Set in the not-too-distant future, America is divided and deep into a new civil war. Following a team of journalists, we see all sides of this conflict and what state the country is in. Naturally, this could be a very controversial film so only go in if you’re ready to digest some political opinions.
