HBO Max’s May 2026 Drop: Every New Movie and Show You’ll Want to Stream

It is almost May, which means streamers are emptying the junk drawer and refilling it with shiny new stuff. Peacock and Netflix already played their cards; now Max (yep, the service formerly known as HBO Max ) has dropped its May slate. Movies are doing the heavy lifting this month — Saltburn and Spider- Man: Across the Spider-Verse headline, with a curveball listing for Wuthering Heights (2026 ) and a supposed Greenland 2: Migration. On the TV side, it is a full buffet of reality staples, a new Harry Potter podcast, and some HBO/Max originals sprinkled in. One odd note: the write-up claims Euphoria Season 3 'continues' in May, but it is nowhere in the day-by-day lineup below, which makes that… questionable.

If you like action and glossy drama, you are covered. If you like watching people buy houses, renovate cabins, or panic about seafood quotas, you are very covered. And if you are spotting a few eyebrow-raisers (a 2026 Wuthering Heights, the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown showing up on May 27, or that Euphoria mention), same — consider those as possibly in flux until Max updates their in-app pages.
