HBO Max Announces October–November Slate, Catalog Drop

HBO Max is rolling out a heavy slate of originals and horror titles across late October and November 2025, led by the IT prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry, which is set to premiere Oct. 26. October also sees new comedy The Chair Company from Tim Robinson and several horror entries including Weapons, The Substance, and Bring Her Back. In November the service will debut A24’s Materialists and Ari Aster’s neo‑Western Eddington, alongside HBO originals such as Rachel Sennott’s comedy I Love LA and the French drama The Seduction. HBO Max is also planning a large catalog drop of classics and genre titles — including Elf, The Polar Express, The Wolfman, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes — and is promoting curated seasonal recommendations. Because listings have been aggregated from multiple outlets, viewers should check HBO Max’s official release pages for exact dates and availability.
