HBO Max this week (October 26-November 1, 2025) plans to add 75 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

It: Welcome to Derry (HBO Original)
Release Date: Sunday, October 26
The horror continues with the HBO original series, It: Welcome to Derry, the latest in the ‘killer clown’ It saga based on the Stephen King novels. The eight-episode series promises to explain the origins of the Pennywise monster (played by Bill Skarsgard) while, of course, scaring the bejesus out of you.

Sorry, Baby (2025)
Release Date: Thursday, October 30
Eva Victor stars (and directed and wrote) in this drama/comedy film about a depressed college professor struggling with depression after a sexual assault. Before the subject matter sends you running for the exits, the indie film has amassed a 97 score at Rotten Tomatoes based on 173 reviews which sums up the critics as saying: “Carrying off difficult subject matter with a light touch and wry sense of humor, Sorry, Baby, triumphantly announces writer-director and star Eva Victor as a formidable talent.“

The Town (2010)
Release Date: November 1
The absorbing 2010 heist drama starring Ben Affleck (who also directed and co-wrote) as a bank robber who courts a beautiful witness (Rebecca Hall) while protecting her from a fellow gang member (Jeremy Renner). Affleck shines here as both star and director, the latter status for which he deserves far greater recognition.
