HBO Max: Coming and Leaving in October 2021

HBO Max

HBO Max announced the list of films, series, and specials that are coming and leaving the streaming service during October 2021.

On HBO Max this October, Academy Award nominee Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival,” “Blade Runner 2049”) directs Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Dune” (10/22), the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal bestseller of the same name. A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

“The Many Saints of Newark” (10/1), the much-anticipated feature film prequel to David Chase’s groundbreaking, award-winning HBO drama series “The Sopranos,” also makes its debut in theaters and on HBO Max in October. Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city —and under the influence of the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti. Fans of “The Sopranos” can catch up on the iconic series with the Sopranos spotlight page and curated trays on HBO Max. The spotlight page and trays in-app highlight essential episodes, the evolution of Tony, and more great viewing for fans before they watch the feature film prequel.

Both “Dune” and “The Many Saints of Newark” will be available in theaters and on HBO Max the same day. Streaming only on the $14.99/month Ad-Free HBO Max plan for 31 days from their theatrical release.

A jaw-dropping collection of original programming arrives this October including the much anticipated third season of the Emmy-winning drama series “Succession” (10/17), the fifth and final season of the Emmy®-winning HBO comedy series “Insecure” (10/24), the eleventh season of the pretty, pretty good comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” the second season of romantic comedy anthology series “Love Life” (10/28), the third season of “Selena + Chef,” the three-part mini-series event “Aquaman: King of Atlantis” (10/14), and the second season of the unscripted series “We’re Here” (10/11). 

HBO Max is home to great films and series for every fan of spooky season. Horror fans can get ready to throw up their popcorn in terror with films like “It: Chapter 2,” “Amityville Horror,” “Mama” and more.

EXACT DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED:

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 11 Premiere (HBO)

  • Originally debuting on HBO in 2001 and presenting 100 episodes to date, the series stars “Seinfeld” co-creator Larry David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalized life. The comedy series continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one’s day-to-day life – a cold cup of coffee, a stained shirt, a missing toothbrush – can precipitate a chain of misfortune to hilarious effect.

Para (aka Para – Wir sind King), Max Original Series Premiere

Paraiso, Max Original Series Premiere

Selena + Chef, Max Original Season 3 Premiere

  • In season three, Selena will continue her cooking adventures at home with a new roster of all-star chefs that will help her whip up delicious dishes for special gatherings and celebrations. Like in its first two seasons, each chef will highlight a different charity each episode. To date, the series has raised $360,000 for 23 nonprofit organizations.
