We’re just a few days away from the launches of both AppleTV+ and Disney+, but there is still at least one more major player waiting to enter the streaming wars after those two: HBO Max. WarnerMedia’s streaming service will debut in spring of 2020 with around 10,000 hours of content available to consume, including popular hits like Friends and The Big Bang Theory. But there are also tons of original series in development for the new service, and we’re here to round them all up in one place so you can decide if it’s going to be worth it to add yet another streaming service to your monthly budget.

The service will provide content from every branch of the WarnerMedia corporate tree, including HBO, Warner Bros., New Line, DC Entertainment, CNN, TNT, TBS, truTV, The CW, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth, and Looney Tunes. Here’s a list of all of the HBO Max shows we know about so far (not to be confused with HBO originals, which are a whole separate thing).



Half of the content will be aimed at a young adult audience, and the remaining half will be split between kids and family content and adult fare outside the HBO brand. They’ll also have 31 Max Original series in their launch year.

Max Original TV Shows

Who’s Involved?: Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) will star and executive produce, while Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead) will write the pilot and serve as showrunner.

What’s It About?: Based on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book, Americanah is a romance that also deals with identity. “Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion — for each other and for their homeland.”

Who’s In It?: The original series starred Regina King, John Witherspoon, Gary Anthony Williams, and Cedric Yarbrough, but as far as I can tell, there hasn’t been any word about whether or not they’ll be returning to reprise their roles.

What’s It About?: A revival of the beloved Adult Swim series, “the new Boondocks follows the adventures of self-proclaimed ‘Civil Rights Legend’ Robert ‘Granddad’ Freeman and his two rambunctious grandsons Huey and Riley. The family has recently moved to an idyllic community in suburban Maryland only to see it taken over by the tyrannical Uncle Ruckus and his bizarre neo-fascist regime. Life under Ruckus turns out to be an everyday struggle to survive.”

The comic focuses on Matty Roth, an aspiring photojournalist tasked with telling stories from the DMZ. But when things go wrong and he loses his way off the island, he has to choose whether to try to escape or to stick around and document the chaos happening in the war zone.

However, a description of this TV adaptation indicates that the primary character will be “a female medic on the island who is trying day-in and day-out to help keep residents alive while trying to also find her lost son,” and that she becomes “a source of hope in an America that has lost all sense of the idea.”

While her friends also deal with difficulties in their own lives, Dory focuses on her pursuit of Chantal, believing her to be in danger. To describe the premise of the second season would be to spoil a major event, so I’ll just leave you by saying that the show has developed a cult following and a passionate fanbase.
