HBO Max to Add 102 Titles In April – Here Are the 4 Most Interesting

HBO Max next month (April 2023) plans to add 102 new TV shows and movies to its lineup and here are the four most interesting, in my humble opinion:

* Barry, the brilliant black comedy starring Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live) as a hitman who wants to become an actor, is returning to HBO for its fourth and final season on April 16. Hader, who is as gifted as any actor on the planet (comedy or drama), manages to turn a farfetched premise into a believable, funny and sometimes poignant show that shouldn’t be missed. The supporting cast, which includes Henry Winkler, Stephen Root and Sarah Goldberg, is also peerless.

* HBO Max on April 27 will debut a new original drama called, Love & Death, which stars the quirky but always entertaining Elizabeth Olsen (WandaVision, Avengers: Endgame) as a real-life Texas housewife who goes berserk with an axe after a spousal betrayal. Sounds like a perfect vehicle for Olsen’s special talents and the supporting cast includes Jesse Plemons, Lily Rabe and Krysten Ritter.

* Live soccer returns to HBO Max with the U.S. women’s team facing Ireland on April 11 and the men’s national team squaring off against Mexico on April 19.

* Movie fans, don’t miss this one. HBO Max on April 28 will debut Warner Bros. 100 Years, an HBO Max original documentary series. The show will celebrate the incredible lineup of films produced at Warner Bros. over the years, including Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Exorcist, Goodfellas, The Dark Knight, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Matrix…the list just goes on and on. (Note: Warner has the rights to The Wizard of Oz although it was produced by MGM.)
