A new year has finally arrived and HBO Max is set to open it with a bang. With its list of new releases for January 2022, HBO Max is rolling out some intriguing original series and an absolutely packed slate of library titles.

The real highlight this month comes on Jan. 13 with the release of Peacemaker. Developed by James Gunn, this series spins off John Cena’s titular character from last years’ The Suicide Squad. The show will delve into the pathology of a superhero who will achieve peace regardless of how many people need to be killed to attain it.

Also of note this month are second seasons for two major HBO series. Euphoria season 2 and The Righteous Gemstones season 2 both premiere on Jan. 9, making for quite the odd double feature. Meanwhile, the fifth and final season of superb comedy Search Party arrives on Jan. 7.

January 2022 is light as far as original movies go. Only the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts celebration on Jan. 1 is worth noting. That’s ok though as HBO Max is bringing the most library titles it has added since its creation on the first of the month. The Dark Knight, Joker, and Mad Max: Fury Road are some to note off the top, but seriously: look at that whole list. Anything Warner movie you’ll want to watch this month you should be able to find.
