Get ready, HBO Max fans! This week, from October 20-26, 2025, HBO Max is adding 10 new TV shows and movies to its lineup. There are so many options to choose from, but I’ve got two picks that I think you should definitely check out.

First up is “Weapons” (2025), set to be released on Friday, October 24. This supernatural horror film tells the chilling story of 17 third-graders who mysteriously leave their homes in the middle of the night. As the community searches for answers, they uncover a complex and dangerous mystery. With a star-studded ensemble cast featuring Julia Garner, Amy Madigan, and Justin Long, this blockbuster film has already made a huge splash at the box office and with critics. Now, it’s coming to HBO Max, just in time for some pre-Halloween scares.

Next, on Sunday, October 26, get ready for the HBO Original series “It: Welcome to Derry.” This latest installment in the ‘killer clown’ It saga, based on Stephen King’s novels, promises to delve into the origins of the terrifying Pennywise monster, played by Bill Skarsgard. Get ready to be on the edge of your seat as this eight-episode series delivers the scares.

But that’s not all! Throughout the week, HBO Max is adding even more new shows and movies to its lineup. From “Haha, You Clowns” to “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
