Max, the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, this week (April 20-26, 2025) plans to add 6 new releases. Here are the two to watch, in my humble opinion.

Babygirl (2024)
Release Date: Friday, April 25
Nicole Kidman stars as a powerful CEO who risks it all when she engages in a torrid affair with a young intern, played by Harris Dickinson. The illicit relationship proves troublesome when the intern begins to push both sexual and corporate boundaries, leaving Kidman gasping (in more ways than one) for a way out. Babygirl was one of the most controversial movie releases of 2024 but Kidman’s performance is a stunner (as usual for arguably the best actress of her generation) and the themes provoke as well as titillate.

The Rehearsal, Season 2 – HBO Original
Release Date: Sunday, April 20
How would you explain the humor of Nathan Fielder to a random stranger? Offbeat? Unpredictable? Brilliant? Hilarious? All would apply and you could throw in several more descriptions. The world’s most inventive comic since Albert Brooks returns for season two of The Rehearsal, a semi-reality show in which Fielder puts real people in real situations for unreal results. In season two, the six-episode series will feature the comedian’s attempt at using role-playing to explain the causes behind airline crashes. Yes, that’s right. Airline crashes. For humorous effect. It’s Nathan Fielder, folks. The season two of The Rehearsal will debut on Sunday, April 20 with future episodes airing every Sunday until the season final on May 25. Season one, which aired in 2022, is now available on Max. To learn more about season one, click here.
