What’s Coming To HBO Max In August 2026
This coming August, HBO Max subscribers in the United States will be able to enjoy plenty of new original programming such as the new DC Comics series based on the popular Green Lantern, plus the return of the hit NFL documentary, “Hard Knocks”. There will also be other new original shows and documentaries, plus licensed content, including many popular films, including “Barbarian” and “Murder on the Orient Express”.
Disney currently offers a special bundle for HBO Max with Disney+ and Hulu, which is priced at $19.99 for the ad-supported tiers of each platform, or $32.99 for the ad-free version of the bundle.
Here are some highlights of what’s coming to HBO Max in August:
Lanterns
The series follows new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery with cosmic ties as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.
Monsters Of God
Filmmaker Eric Goode follows his first love – reptiles – into the dark and gonzo underworld of exotic animal smuggling. In this global network, everyone is chasing the ultimate prize, whether it be owning the rarest of species, claiming the biggest fortunes, or taking down the most elusive criminals. The billion-dollar criminal enterprise is fueled by extreme obsession for these creatures, driving many to push the boundaries of laws and environmental ethics. As he digs deeper, Goode uncovers a labyrinth of outlaw traffickers, bombastic collectors, and the dogged law enforcement agents on their tails.
Hard Knocks: Training Camp With The Seattle Seahawks
This new season marks the franchise’s first appearance on the 21-time Sports Emmy-winning series. Its signature all-access coverage will unfold this summer at the Seahawks training camp in Renton, Washington and will feature head coach Mike Macdonald, quarterback Sam Darnold, 2025 Associated Press (AP) NFL Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and defensive standouts Devon Witherspoon and Byron Murphy II.
