What’s new on HBO and Max in April 2024

Robert Downey Jr. in The Sympathizer.
HBO

While Warner Bros. Pictures did not walk away from the Oscars with an award for Best Picture, HBO and Max probably couldn’t be happier that Robert Downey Jr. won for Best Supporting Actor in Oppenheimer. That’s because Downey is one of the stars of the new HBO original miniseries, The Sympathizer, in which he will play several different characters. If that show lives up to the hype, Downey may be nominated for an Emmy later this year as well.

Additionally, Max is set to have the streaming premiere of the Oscar-winning film The Zone of Interest on April 5. This month also has the debut of the new comedy special, Conan O’Brien Must Go. True crime lovers should check out The Jinx – Part Two. And for genre lovers, Max is hosting the streaming premiere of the animated superhero flick, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part One.

Our complete list of what’s coming to HBO and Max in April 2024 is below. Titles without “HBO” in the listing will only be available on Max. DT’s film and TV show recommendations are in bold.

We also have lists of the best movies on HBO and HBO Max and the best shows on HBO and HBO Max to help you decide what to watch next. If HBO isn’t your only go-to streaming service, we have helpful articles on the best movies on Netflix and the best shows on Netflix, as well as the best movies streaming on Amazon and the best shows streaming on Amazon, plus plenty of other guides for Hulu, Peacock, and Disney+.

More recent movies like The Wrestler and War for the Planet of the Apes are also on the top of our Hulu watch list for the month.
