As the streaming wars rage on, Max is coming in hot in 2025, as the platform has just revealed its absolutely packed line-up of new and returning shows. Max has always had a leg-up in the battle for the best “content,” thanks to the almost guaranteed stamp of success that is the HBO brand. 2024 has already been a big year for the streamer, thanks to House of the Dragon Season 2, and the recently concluded The Penguin (both of which simultaneously streamed on Max and aired on HBO). But, thanks to a new featurette, 2025 could be Max’s strongest year yet.
The new “Coming to Max in 2025” trailer unveiled over a dozen shows that will be released in the new year, and revealed some of the best footage yet of some returning favorites. The two big shows for Max in 2025 are undoubtedly The Last of Us Season 2, and The White Lotus Season 3. The Last of Us fans got a sneak peek at the new season earlier in the year, but The White Lotus resort-goers have been desperately awaiting room service to deliver a trailer for Season 3. While a full trailer is still in the works, we now have our best look yet at the star-studded cast of the Thailand-set Season 3 — which stars Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, and Jason Isaacs.
Walton Goggins is going to have a major 2025, as the featurette also teased the return of The Righteous Gemstones. The now Emmy-winning Hacks also debuted new footage from its fourth season. And, if Max hasn’t already had enough success in the crime/thriller genres, its bringing MCU and Zodiac star, Mark Ruffalo, into the fold for a new series, titled Task. Ruffalo plays FBI Agent Tom, who is tasked with investigating a run of drug-house robberies. Lastly, DC fans got their best look yet at Peacemaker‘s second season, which will be set within the new DC Universe.
Max Still Has Some Big Shows for 2024!
While the featurette mainly looked ahead to the new year, it also reminded audiences of the phenomenal shows that are still to come this side of Christmas. Taking audiences back to outer space (albeit without Denis Villeneuve), Dune Prophecy follows the founding of the Bene Gesserit order,10,000 years before the events of Dune. Fans have high hopes and expectations for the series after Villeneuve’s phenomenal, Oscar-winning work on Dune and Dune: Part Two. Dune: Prophecy premieres on November 17 on Max.
