Max to Add 80 New Titles In November – Here’s My 3 Most Interesting

Max, the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, next month (November 2024) plans to add 80 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting new titles, in my humble opinion:

Dune: Prophecy, Season 1 (HBO Original)
Warner Bros. takes a stab at extending the Dune sci-fi franchise with this prequel set roughly 10,000 years before the original movie’s timeline. Emily Watson and Olivia Williams star as sisters, Valya and Tula, who lead a band of women that will battle evil forces threatening humanity’s very existence. First episode debuts November 17.

Call Me Ted
And speaking of going to the company well, Max will roll out a six-part documentary on Ted Turner, the rambunctious “Mouth of the South” who started CNN and Turner Networks, crown jewels in the Warner Bros. Discovery’s portfolio. Despite Turner’s extraordinary career, I’m not sure it’s worth six episodes but I wouldn’t want to be the WBD executive to tell him that. (Turner is still kicking at 85.) Maybe his marriage to Jane Fonda will get two episodes. Debuts November 13.

Surveilled (HBO Original)
The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow takes a break from the ‘me too’ beat to investigate the growing use of commercial spyware across the globe. While the technology offers some societal benefits, such as tracking criminals, it’s also being used to hack devices owned by the innocent. The doc chronicles how no one is really safe these days and it’s only going to get worse. Debuts November 20.
