What’s new on HBO and Max in May 2024

HBO and Max tend to start the month strong with a long list of movies from the past four decades. However, May’s movie lineup on Max is looking pretty slim. It is nice to have three original Mad Max movies available to stream just in time for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga to hit theaters later this month. Beyond that, the only movies worth getting excited for in May are the Max original romantic drama Turtles All the Way Down and A24’s The Iron Claw, which is based on the true story of the Von Erichs, a family of professional wrestlers.

Max also has the season 3 premiere of Hacks and a new documentary about MoviePass, as well as a lot of reality shows from the Discovery side of Warner Bros. Discovery. Our complete list of what’s coming to HBO and Max in May 2024 is below. Titles without “HBO” in the listing will only be available on Max. DT’s film and TV show recommendations are in bold.

We also have lists of the best movies on HBO and HBO Max and the best shows on HBO and HBO Max to help you decide what to watch next. If HBO isn’t your only go-to streaming service, we have helpful articles on the best movies on Netflix and the best shows on Netflix, as well as the best movies streaming on Amazon and the best shows streaming on Amazon, plus plenty of other guides for Hulu, Peacock, and Disney+.
