HBO Max New Releases: August 2020

It’s August 2020 and that can only mean one thing: HBO Max is about to enter Lovecraft Country.

Over the years HBO (and by the transitive property its new HBO Max streaming offshoot) has grown accustomed to debuting a buzzworthy new TV show or limited series every couple of months. For August 2020 that will almost certainly be Southern Gothic horror series Lovecraft Country. The J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele-produced thriller arrives on August 14 on HBO and HBO Max.

Other strong HBO Max originals arriving in August include the documentary Class Action Park (release date TBD), Seth Rogen-starring comedy An American Pickle (Aug. 6), and finales for I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Doom Patrol, and Perry Mason.

Of course, HBO Max is designed to house much of WarnerMedia’s content across many mediums. That means some recent movies on note like Jojo Rabbit (Aug. 1), Richard Jewell (Aug. 8), and Birds of Prey (Aug. 15) will all make their debut this month. The Dark Knight also arrives on August 1 to expand the streamer’s Batman collection.

Despite all the fun additions, however, August could prove to be pretty traumatic for Potter-heads. All eight Harry Potter films leave HBO Max on August 25. Hopefully New Scamander can help you get through the rest of the summer.

Here is everything else arriving on HBO Max this month.
