New Movies on HBO Max in July 2025

From original movies to cinematic milestones, HBO Max has something for everyone. The streaming service is dropping another slate of quality movies and feature films for your enjoyment. Whether you are looking for thrills, spills, or some comedy shrills, the best new movies on HBO Max offer a little something for everyone. Here are the best movies coming to HBO Max this month.

Sinners

Release Date: 4 July 2025

Director Ryan Coogler reteamed with actor Michael B. Jordan – who plays twin brothers Smoke and Stack Moore – for this supernatural period smash. It takes place during the Great Depression and follows Smoke and Stack to their hometown in Mississippi with a bundle of stolen mob cash. Their plans to open a juke joint must overcome various hurdles, including local vampire Remmick (Jack O’Connell) and his bloodthirsty horde. Coogler infuses the story with lush visuals and timeless music to deliver a feast of sight, sound, and sin. Stream it on the 4th of July.

Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League

Release Date: 3 July 2025

Perhaps you’ve heard of the 2018 anime movie Batman Ninja? It sends the Caped Crusader back in time to feudal Japan, where supervillains like the Joker have seized power. This sequel picks up one day after Batman’s return to Gotham and confronts him with a different reality than the one he left. He’s still processing all the changes when members of the yakuza descend upon the city, led by an alternate version of the Justice League. Superhero fans don’t seem to be warming up to this one, and we can’t blame them. Who the heck thought Batman Ninja was a good title in the first place?

Superman Through the Years

Release Date: 8 July 2025

Gear up for the new Superman movie – soaring into theatres on 8 July – by revisiting the superhero’s epic cinematic legacy. From the 1978 original starring Christopher Reeve to director Zack Snyder’s hyperkinetic Man of Steel to animated instalments and more, it’s all streaming on HBO Max this month. On second thought, maybe go see the new movie first so that you’re not suffering from Superman fatigue before you even get to the theatre. Your call.

Best New TV Shows on HBO Max in July 2025

HBO is synonymous with some of the world’s best series, and that’s as true today as it was in the age of The Sopranos and The Wire. In July, we see a host of fan favourites return, along with the premiere of a new series by book-lover and actor Mark Gatiss. HBO Max is delivering plenty of series entertainment from comedy to crime to everything in between this July. Here are the best new series on HBO Max for this month.

Bookish

Release Date: 16 July 2025

British multi-hyphenate Mark Gatiss plays Gabriel Book in this brand-new mystery series, which he also created. An avid reader and antiquarian bookshop owner, Book uses his literary savviness to solve complex murder cases in his spare time. The six-part series takes place in post-WWII London and doesn’t shy away from salacious themes. It’s already been renewed for a second season.

Back to the Frontier

Release Date: 10 July 2025

This new reality series is like a social experiment and immersive history lesson wrapped into one. Three modern families are plucked from their respective domains and transported via wagon train to an 1880s-style American prairie. Under the guidance of experts, they assume the roles of frontierspeople. Can they build homes, forge alliances, raise livestock, grow crops, and overcome other challenges before a harsh winter arrives? Watch to find out!

Chespirito: Not Really on Purpose

Release Date: 28 July 2025

Mexico’s Roberto Gómez Bolaños went by the nickname Chespirito (which translates to “Little Shakespeare”) and created a number of hit sitcoms and characters throughout the 1970s and 1980s. He died in 2014, and his son has since launched the Chespirito Media Universe in his honour. It kicks off with this biographical comedy series about his professional and personal endeavours, offering an insightful window into the creative life.

New Events and Documentaries on HBO Max

HBO Max is home to a slew of gripping documentaries and docuseries, and they’ll add at least two more this July. Here are the best new documentaries on HBO Max in July 2025, along with some sports hits.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes

Release Date: 19 July 2025

We sold off our Billy Joel CDs a long time ago, but that won’t stop us from catching this two-part documentary about the legendary piano man. It sits down with the artist himself for a number of in-depth conversations, which serve as an anchor for the story at large. Joel gets candid like never before as he revisits professional benchmarks and personal ones alike, complete with never-before-seen footage. Hmmm…maybe it’s time to fire up one of his albums, after all.

Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print

Release Date: 3 July 2025

Ms. Magazine jumped to the frontlines of feminism with the release of its first issue in 1972, and it’s been pulling no punches ever since. Still in publication, it continues to tackle sociopolitical issues from a bold feminist perspective. For this upcoming documentary, three filmmakers use famous cover stories as gateways to exploration, touching down on the magazine’s own history and the still-relevant topics it commits to print.

Things to Consider for HBO Max

With a catalogue of shows, movies and lifestyle documentaries to envy, HBO Max has some top-tier programming, but you’ll also be paying on the high end to access it. You’ll be able to download shows for offline viewing if you pay for one of the ‘ad free’ tiers, and can view content in up to 4K resolution if you pay up for HBO Max’s Premium tier.

Compared to some of the other services out there, though, HBO Max’s newer content might feel a bit thin if you’re not all that keen on HBO’s shows, but there are plenty of classics to fall back on.
