April 2026 on HBO Max: Every New Movie and Show You Can’t Miss

April on Max is stacked, but let’s be honest: everything else is orbiting around one noisy, neon planet. 'Euphoria ' finally returns for season 3 — and yes, it ’s reportedly the last one. Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer are back, and Sharon Stone is joining the chaos. Add Richard Gadd’s new series 'Half Man' (with Jamie Bell) and the streaming debut of Timothee Chalamet’s Oscar- nominated sports drama 'Marty Supreme', and you’ve got a month that actually earns the calendar space. Also in the mix: 'Alien: Romulus' lands, 'Hacks' is back with season 5, and Adult Swim fans get more 'Smiling Friends'. Below, the highlights up top and the full calendar if you like your plans color-coded.

The headliners (and why people care)

'Euphoria' season 3 premieres April 12 (HBO Original). It’s the first new chapter since 2022, widely talked up as the final run, with the core cast returning and Sharon Stone as a notable new face. Expect the cultural conversation to be loud.

'Half Man' (HBO Original) drops April 23. It’s Richard Gadd’s follow-up to 'Baby Reindeer', with Gadd and Jamie Bell starring. Given the attention on Gadd’s last project, this one’s going to be under a microscope.

'Marty Supreme' (A24) starts streaming April 24. It’s Timothee Chalamet’s Oscar-nominated sports film making its Max debut. Award-y sports dramas don’t hit streaming every day.

Also worth flagging: 'Alien: Romulus' (April 3), 'Hacks' season 5 (April 9), 'The Dark Wizard' (April 14, HBO Original), 'Dust Bunny' (April 17, Lionsgate ), and 'Smiling Friends' season 3B (April 13, Adult Swim).

Quick take

It’s a big month anchored by a buzzy HBO return, a high-interest new drama from Richard Gadd, and a splashy A24 film finally hitting streaming. April 1 also dumps a ton of catalog — heavy on Alien cuts and classic westerns — if you’re in a completionist mood. Sports-wise, the NHL playoff push is basically every other night, and AEW is everywhere. Busy month. Pace yourself.
