HBO Max is releasing a slate of new series, specials, documentaries, and feature films throughout October. The upcoming schedule features original drama and comedy programming alongside recent theatrical releases.
The legal drama series War debuts on October 1 with weekly episode releases on Thursdays. Created by George Kay, the eight-episode season stars Archie Renaux, Dominic West, Sienna Miller, Phoebe Fox, and James McArdle. The story centers on London lawyers involved in a high-profile divorce case between a British tech entrepreneur and an international film star.
Additional series and special releases include the second season of Rage (Furia), which debuts on October 9 with weekly Friday episodes starring Maribel Verdú and Carmen Maura. On October 16, the platform will release Kate Berlant: Parmesan, a comedy special filmed at the Plaza Nightclub in Los Angeles and directed by Doron Max Hagay.
The documentary lineup features two new titles during the month. The three-part series The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story debuts on October 11 and examines the reopening of a 1985 cold case murder in Louisiana. On October 27, HBO Max will premiere Kordell Stewart: Slash & Burn, a documentary directed by Brian Rivera that focuses on the career and personal life of the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback.
Three feature films are also scheduled to join the platform in October. Lionsgate’s The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig and starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, debuts on October 9. A24 titles include The Death of Robin Hood, starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, debuting October 16, followed by The Invite, starring Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton, on October 23.
