Here’s Everything New On HBO And HBO Max For August 2021

A handful of huge premieres are landing on HBO and HBO Max this August.

A couple of DC comic offerings — including James Gunn’s totally out-there Suicide Squad relaunch — make up a bulk of the action, but Hugh Jackman’s got a sci-fi thriller that looks intriguing too. All that plus an Obama doc and the series finale of The White Lotus are what subscribers have to look forward to this month. Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) HBO and HBO Max.

James Gunn assembles a motley crew of some of the worst comic book characters in the superhero verse to take on a giant starfish in this DC offering. It looks weird AF, it’s got a talented cast led by Margot Robbie, John Cena, and Idris Elba, and oh yeah, King Shark will be there. Why wouldn’t you want to watch this thing

Batman’s officially retired, Dick Grayson has assumed the mantle of Nightwing, and a new villain is causing all kinds of trouble for the Teen Titans when the show’s third season finds its new home on HBO Max this month. A move to Gotham, the return of the Scarecrow, some Joker action — if you’re missing the OG world of Batman right now, this series is for you.

Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Ferguson star in this sci-fi thriller from Westworld creator Lisa Joy. Jackman plays a man (living in a pretty bleak future) who offers his clients a way to relive their fondest memories. Ferguson plays a mysterious woman named Mae, who he falls in love with. But when Mae is implicated in a crime via someone else’s memories, Jackman’s Nick must go on a search for the truth courtesy of the past.
