HBO Max Adds 138 New Shows and Movies to September 2025 Lineup: Top 3 Picks

HBO Max is gearing up for September 2025 with a whopping 138 new TV shows and movies hitting their streaming service. If you’re wondering what to watch, here are three top picks, according to the TV Answer Man: “Task,” “Friendship,” and the classic film “Dog Day Afternoon.”

In “Task,” starting on September 7, Mark Ruffalo plays an FBI agent leading a team to take down a mysterious garbage collector behind a series of high-profile heists. With seven episodes full of suspense, this show is already getting rave reviews and is reminiscent of the hit series “Mare of Easttown.”

“Friendship,” premiering on September 5, stars Tim Robinson as a marketing exec whose life takes a turn when he crosses paths with his uber-confident neighbor, played by Paul Rudd. Think Ferris Bueller for grown-ups, with unexpected charm and depth.

For classic movie lovers, don’t miss “Dog Day Afternoon,” available on September 1. This 1975 film reunites acting legends Al Pacino and John Cazale in a gripping story based on real events.

And that’s just the beginning! HBO Max is adding a vast array of shows and movies throughout September, covering everything from comedies to documentaries to classic films. With so much new content to choose from, your binge-watching schedule is looking pretty full. So grab the popcorn, settle in, and enjoy the entertainment coming your way!
