HBO Max is heading into July 2026 with one of its biggest months of the year, combining original series, blockbuster films, acclaimed documentaries, reality programming, and an extensive lineup of live sports. Leading the month’s releases is Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, a new comedy set in The Big Bang Theory universe that puts comic book store owner Stuart Bloom at the centre of a multiverse-spanning adventure. Film fans also have plenty to look forward to, with exclusive premieres including A24’s The Drama and Lionsgate’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Long Walk.
The platform is also expanding its documentary catalogue with HBO Originals and CNN programming, while Discovery’s annual Shark Week returns with a packed schedule of new specials beginning later in the month. Combined with weekly AEW events, NASCAR races, Major League Baseball, and a steady stream of reality programming, HBO Max continues to position itself as more than just a destination for scripted entertainment.
