HBO’s The Last of Us changed the game for video game adaptations in 2023 with its heartfelt and harrowing story of survival horror. And The Last of Us is back for Season 2 as one of our top picks among everything new on HBO and Max in April 2025.
It’s a strong month for other original programs as well, thanks to the premiere of Hacks Season 4 and The Rehearsal Season 2.
Max’s movies this month offer a wide range of classic titles from the last century of cinema, with surprisingly few additions from the 21st century beyond A24’s Babygirl with Nicole Kidman and Y2K with Rachel Zegler.
At the end of April, Max is premiering the amusingly titled documentary Twitter: Breaking the Bird, about the social media platform that was renamed X. There are also more Discovery network and affiliated shows premiering throughout the month.
