HBO Max next month (June 2022) plans to add 118 new TV shows and movies to its lineup, including the return of a sci-fi favorite.
The new shows will include the premiere episode of season four of Westworld, the HBO original remake of the same-titled 1973 movie starring Yul Brynner. The series tells the tale of a Wild West-themed fantasy park that runs amok when the robots acting like real-life town inhabitants start operating on their own. Evan Rachel Wood and Thandiwe Newton star as rebellious robots.
Rottentomatoes.com, which tracks critical reviews, gives the first three seasons a collective score of 81 out of a possible 100, although season three netted a lower 73.

“Westworld successfully reboots itself by broadening its scope while tightening its storytelling clarity — although some may feel that the soul has been stripped from this machine in the process,” the site states, summarizing the reviews.
Also notable on HBO Max in June: The Card Counter, the shrewd 2021 dramatic film starring Oscar Isaac as a professional gambler whose calculations take a turn when a young man seeking revenge enters his life. Paul Schrader, the writer of Taxi Driver and other intense urban dramas, directs this throwback to the 70s when movies put plot and characterization over all else. (Not coincidentally, Taxi Driver director Martin Scorsese is an executive producer of the film.)
Here is the complete list of new titles coming to HBO Max in June 2022. (Titles in parenthesis will also be added to the cable/satellite version of HBO.)
