HBO Max next month (September 2025) plans to add 138 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

Task (HBO Original)
Release Date: September 7
Mark Ruffalo stars as a FBI agent who’s assigned to head a task force to combat a series of high-profile robberies engineered by what seems like a lowly garbage collector (Tom Pelphrey). The cat-and-mouse seven-episode series, which is already collecting rave reviews, is being compared to HBO’s Mare of Easttown (which stars Kate Winslet), no surprise because Mare’s Brad Ingelsby is the showrunner here, too.

Friendship
Release Date: September 5
Tim Robinson stars as a marketing executive whose rooted existence tips over when he falls under the influence of his uber-confident next door neighbor (Paul Rudd). Think Ferris Bueller in adult form (Rudd as Ferris and Robinson as Cameron) and you have Friendship, a winning comedy movie with charm and more insights than you might expect.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Release Date: September 1
The 1975 movie reunites The Godfather’s Al Pacino and John Cazale as real-life bank robbers whose caper goes horribly askew. Based on a real-life story, Dog Day is a showcase for two of the finest actors of their generation. Brilliant performances. And great story telling from New York auteur Sidney Lumet. Attica! Attica! Attica!
