What’s New on HBO Max in August 2022
When the final episode of Game of Thrones aired, the reaction from viewers was as brutal and demanding as the ordeal by fighting the Mountain – the hot footage not only killed the show’s online reputation, it also smashed its head and gouged out its eyes. Since then, the Internet as a whole has held a grudge, as has Circeus, and by all accounts, the final season screwed it up so badly that the franchise is forever tainted. So I’m pretty sure none of those former fans will be watching the August 21 HBO premiere of the House of the Dragon prequel… right?
Leaving aside a long digression about the relative number of disgruntled extreme online users compared to the general public, Game of Thrones has definitely lost a bit of its luster , but it’s still very important to HBO, which is why they worked so hard to create a sexy looking spin. -off (and why they are still trying to make a few more ). And given that House of the Dragon , which stretches back several centuries to trace the rise of the Targaryen dynasty of dragon-loving siblings, is created by different writers and showrunners, it might be worth giving precedence to doubt. I mean there are more dragons. And Matt Smith in a really fun wig!
If you don’t stop there, there are more surprises available to HBO Max subscribers in August, including live streaming of the Academy Award nominee’s Belfast premiere (August 15) and the acclaimed anime movie Belle (August 13).
Harry Potter franchise leaves HBO Max
This month’s list of films leaving HBO Max also includes a surprise digression: all eight films from the main Harry Potter series will disappear from the lineup on August 31st. your own Wizarding World hub , you have to wonder why parent company Warner Bros. Discovery lets them go . (JK Rowling’s bad opinions aside, I’d bet that “someone else paid more for the rights.”)
Here’s everything that comes and goes from HBO and HBO Max in August. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.
