It’s been a totally chill and normal month for HBO Max. Definitely nothing significant happened to affect the best streaming service around, like, say, new CEO David Zaslav canceling a bunch of forthcoming shows and even a $90 million Batgirl movie and making the decision to remove a bunch of content—including movies and shows produced specifically for HBO and HBO Max—as part of an apparent scheme to, I don’t know, piss off loyal customers and all of Hollywood.
Oh wait, all that actually did happen? Well fuck.
In light of all of that, you might be considering dropping your HBO Max subscription in the near future, and I don’t know that the streamer’s slate of upcoming September content will do much to change your mind.
The month’s biggest get is undoubtedly Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, the musical biopic that actually managed a rare movies-for-adults pandemic box office win over the summer, birthing my favorite meme of 2022 in the process. The film arrives on HBO Max on Sept. 2. That’s so soon! RIP movie theaters.
Otherwise, I’m jazzed about the long-in-coming second season of Los Espookys (Sept. 16), three years after the debut of the first season of the low-key Spanish language ghost-hunting comedy. If you dig What We Do in the Shadows, this is your next favorite show.
Also worth highlighting:
We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (Sept. 1), a freaky psychological art house horror flick about a girl who gets sucked into the world of an online cult/meme/conspiracy thing.
The Hype season 2 (Sept. 22), the return of the reality competition series pitting up-and-coming streetwear designers against one another.
Moonfall (Sept. 9), a supremely dumb Roland Emmerich disaster movie about the moon falling out of orbit for some reason; for viewers who thought The Core was too scientifically rigorous.
A bunch of Magnolia Network reality content ported over from Discovery+ (Sept. 30), but if you wanted that, you’d probably have already subscribed to Discovery+.

Magnetically Docking
Mode Electric Toothbrush
Luxury brushing
Mode is the first magnetically charging toothbrush, and rotates to dock in any outlet. The brushing experience is as luxurious as it looks—with soft, tapered bristles and a two-minute timer to be confident you reached all the crevices of your molars.
Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) HBO Max in September…unless David Zaslav decides to delete a bunch more old content before then. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.
