With a back catalog that boasts seminal shows like The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, and Sex and the City, HBO has a well-deserved reputation for producing high-quality original content. It’s arguably responsible for more water cooler shows than any other network.
And while 2024 brings us the long awaited Season 4 of True Detective, other hits like The White Lotus, Euphoria, and The Last of Us are all confirmed to be pushed back to 2025.
But what about new HBO shows? There aren’t as many as we’d like, but we like what we see. Here are all of the available trailers for new series on Max due out this year.

New series on Max this year
The Regime
While there are (sadly) currently no official plans for a second season of Kate Winslet’s previous HBO series, Mare of Easttown, she’s thankfully starring in a new series on Max. And she’s joined by Hugh Grants and Martha Plimpton.
The Regime follows a year inside the walls of a modern-day authoritarian regime in Europe as it begins to crumble.
The series premieres March 3rd and will air Sunday nights at 9pm until its finale on April 7th.

The Sympathizer
Based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer-winning novel of the same, The Sympathizer follows a the Captain, Viet Cong spy who flees Vietnam to America near the end of the Vietnam War.
Still on the job — and expected to report back to HQ — the Captain is soon torn between staying loyal to the VC or embracing his new community of fellow refugees in the USA.
Hoa Xuande stars as the Captain, while Robert Downey Jr. plays the roles of multiple antagonists. The series is co-produced by A24, which means there’s a 98% chance the show’s going to be a winner.
It’s currently slated as a miniseries, but seeing as there’s a sequel to the book, it’s hard to completely rule out the possibility of a second season.
- Release Date: TBA 2024
- Format: Limited series
- Number of episodes: 7
- Release Schedule: Weekly (expected)
- Genre(s): Black comedy, Historical drama, Thriller, Satire
👀 CHECK IT OUT
The Franchise
The Franchise’s incredible cast includes Himesh Patel (pictured) and Aya Cash, who brings superhero cred to the role from her turn as Liberty/Stormfront in The Boys on Prime Video.
👀 CHECK IT OUT
The Penguin
Colin Farrell resumes his role as the titular character and villain in this spin-off from the most recent Batman movie, 2022’s The Batman. (In case you haven’t seen Robert Pattinson take his turn as the caped crusader, the movie has Farrell in the role of Penguin.)
An origin story of sorts, the new series on Max follows Penguin’s rise to power in Gotham’s underworld.
Production was delayed due to the WGA Strike, but it’s on track to be released late this year.
More new series on Max
The upcoming Dune: Prophecy series is a prequel set roughly 10,000 years before the event in the novel Dune. It’s expected to premiere late this year, but so far there are no promotional shots, sneak peeks, or trailers.
