two weeks pass...
what a load of trash tbh
15 Minutes of ShameMonica Lewinsky produces this documentary about public shaming. There's no release date yet.
all respect to Ms Lewinsky and her admirable career but with no more information this feels opportunistic on HBO's part
Anthony Bourdain documentaryThis documentary will look at the life of the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. There's no release date yet.
even more opportunistic
Brad and Gary Go to...Brad and Gary Go to... (working title) is a docuseries based on couple Brad Goreski and Gary Janetti's Instagram stories.

"based on"
CraftopiaCraftopia is an unscripted competition show with kids 9 to 15 jockeying against one another in the making of crafts. Production begins later in 2019.
most competition shows are horrible and gross, to set pre-pubescent children "jockeying against" each other is monstrous
Warner Bros.-produced CW dramasCW shows like Batwoman, Katy Keene, Arrowverse and others will stream on HBO Max.
There's a Katy Keene show?! I slightly rescind the previous comment if this takes all its costume designs from 9-yo girls' viewer submissions
DC moviesHBO has said that releases from the last decade "will be available within our first year of launch, (plus) every Superman and Batman movie from the last 40 years."
this is a grand total of two good films for all ages, two kind of okay films for kids depending on what version they include, and one TV spinoff that has a good reputation
DC Super Hero HighExecutive produced by Elizabeth Banks, this half-hour comedy series centers around a groups of teenagers at a boarding school for "gifted" kids. There's no release date yet.
X-Titans?
Doctor WhoThe long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who will stream exclusively on HBO Max, including the last 11 seasons, which will be available at launch.
...if the previous 26 seasons are not available at launch, is that because another entity has the rights to stream them, and therefore it will not stream exclusively on MAX?
Dune: The Sisterhood
The series, based on Frank Herbert's Dune novels, will follow an order of women known as the Bene Gesserit. Dune: The Sisterhood comes from Legendary Television, which is also behind the upcoming movie reboot. There's no release date yet.
luv 2 make female-focused programming that enriches Chris Hardwick

bun dem witch
Expecting AmyExpecting Amy (working title) follows comedian Amy Schumer as she tours and prepares for her standup special while pregnant. There's no release date yet.
my sense is that she stopped being funny when she got really rich, so get that paper and then step off, I guess?
Finding EinsteinThis docuseries is looking for the next generation of Einsteins. Produced by DeGeneres, the show is in development.
the title was gross enough before I saw the producer
The Gilded AgeIn this show, set in 1882, the daughter of a Southern general moves to New York City to live with her aunts. The Gilded Age stars Christine Baranski, Amanda Peet and Cynthia Nixon. It comes from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. There's no release date yet.
why not just licence Another Period tbh

One more for @DCComics fans. In partnership w/ @GBerlanti we're excited to bring to series the beloved Green Lantern AND intro audiences to Strange Adventures, about "man of two worlds" Adam Strange, an archaeologist-turned-intergalactic-hero when he's zeta-beamed to planet Rann

a) G'nort or GTFO
b) is Murphy Anderson III still alive to get a cheque from his dad's work?
Gremlins: Secrets of the MogwaiGremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai will be an animated prequel series based on the 1984 movie. There's no release date yet.
If you're making this animated, you're probably not hiring Joe Dante (Looney Tunes Back In Action notwithstanding), in which case no thank you, also prequels are brain poison
The Ho's The Ho's (working title) is a docuseries from Lionsgate TV about a wealthy Houston family originally from Vietnam. WarnerMedia says the eight-part program will be in the spirit of Crazy Rich Asians. There's no release date yet.
lololoolololllololol bcz a common Chinese surname sounds like a slur on women! you get two disparaging jokes for the price of one in just six letters
House of the DragonHouse of the Dragon is a Game of Thrones prequel set 300 years before Games of Thrones, delving into House Targaryen.
Is this the one that was cancelled yesterday?
KarmaThis eight-episode unscripted competition show has 12-to-15-year-old kids solving puzzles and completing physical challenges as they "unravel how their social actions impact their success in the game." The series is in production. There's no release date yet.
okay so puzzle challenges and Double Dare can be okay as kids competition shows but "how their social actions impact" seems ripe for abuse
I Know This Much Is TrueMark Ruffalo plays twins, but one of them has schizophrenia. The six-episode drama is based on Wally Lamb's 1998 book. It also stars John Lithgow. There's no release date yet.
"but"?
Let Them TalkDirected by Stephen Soderbergh, film Let Them Talk (working title) stars Meryl Streep and Candice Bergen. Streep plays an author who takes a trip with friends. Production started in August.
and is finished
Little EllenThis animated kids show stars a 7-year-old Ellen DeGeneres in her hometown of New Orleans. The series is 40 quarter-hour episodes. There's no release date yet.
is it about all the great work George Bush did saving the hometown
Looney Tunes CartoonsLooney Toons Cartoons is a new series starring the Looney Tunes characters in their "classic pairing, in simple, gag-driven and visually vibrant stories." The series will have 80 11-minute cartoons. The full libraries of classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons from 1930-1969 will also be available at launch.
who the hell is directing these 80 (E I G H T Y) cartoons? Is that not a mildly-relevant issue when you're making Looney Tunes?
Made for LoveAnother book adaptation, Made for Love is based on the 2017 novel by Alissa Nutting. Cristin Milioti plays a woman getting away from a tech billionaire who's implanted a chip in her brain to track not only her location but her emotions. Ray Romano plays her reclusive father, Variety reported. There's no release date yet.
ew
The Nevers

can we guess that the release date is hidden in the title
The New PopeThis limited series follows 2016's The Young Pope.
The Fresh Pope Of Bel-Air
PersonaThis documentary from CNN Films looks at why people are so interested in personality testing. There's no release date yet.
people are interested in what now
Perry MasonThis new spin on the show from the late '50s- to the mid '60s is set in 1932. The limited series stars Matthew Rhys and is executive produced by Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey. There's no release date yet.
dys
oh wait I googled and Rhys is a) an abled actor, so expect this to be hashtag cancelled before it is actually cancelled, also he should be playing Julian McMahon's brother in everything immediately
The Plot Against AmericaIt's yet another adaptation of a book (The Plot Against America by Philip Roth), and HBO describes the show as a "reimagined history" starring Winona Ryder and John Turturro. David Simon and Ed Burns produce. There's no release date yet.
Ed Burns is the only name in this who has not been #cancelled yet, crossing my fingers for you big guy
Stand-up specials presented by Conan O'BrienComedian Conan O'Brien will curate and/or host five comedy specials showcasing up-and-coming comics, as well as established comics.
this number seems low tbh, esp for the amount of effort required by Conaco
StarstruckThis six-part comedy show follows what happens when a young woman sleeps with a celebrity. It'll be broadcast on BBC Three in the UK and streamed on HBO Max in the US. There's no release date yet.
FP'd for racism
Studio Ghibli filmsThe entire film library from this Japanese animation house will be available at launch. Notable titles include Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke.
Apart from the new probably-non-theatrical Soderbergh, are these the only films listed for the launch of Home Box Office 3.0?
Super IntelligenceThis comedy from New Line Cinema tells the story of what happens when a woman's (Melissa McCarthy) TV, phone and microwave start talking back. She's being watched by AI, and humanity is in danger. There's no release date yet.
odds this will be better than that one X-Files episode written by women?
Tooned OutTooned Out is a part live action, part animated. Character Mac starts seeing cartoon characters and they help him though a "very rough patch in his life."
not sure if HBO are honouring the legacy of Dream On or beatjacking Herman's Head
