HBO Max New Releases: May 2022

With movie theaters fully back up and running, HBO Max no longer has any major film releases to point to with its list of new releases for May 2022. That’s alright though as the streamer is leaning into the HBO side of its branding to offer up some fun TV releases.

The biggest HBO Max original this month is undoubtedly the return of Hacks on May 12. The first season of this comedy starred Jean Smart as a venerated Vegas comedy and Hannah Einbinder as her new millennial assistant. The first batch of episodes was excellent and even won an Emmy or two for its troubles and now season 2 will look to keep up the good vibes.

Premiering on May 15, is The Time Traveler’s Wife. This series adaptation of the 2003 novel (which in turn became a a 2009 movie) keeps up with two star-crossed lovers who can never quite make the timing work…thanks to an unfortunate temporal condition. On the less romantic side of things, The Staircase will premiere on May 5.

The usual batch of library titles on the first of the month aren’t as extensive in May 2022. May 1 does, however, see the arrival of The Fugitive, Terminator 2, and the Underworld series. There’s also Dear Evan Hansen on May 6 if you want to get weird with it.

Here is everything else coming to and leaving HBO Max this month.
