Top Picks on HBO Max: Week of Nov. 14, 2025

HBO Max is always adding new shows and movies from all its partner networks, like HBO, Discovery, and Food Network. If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend or the week ahead, I’ve got you covered with some top picks.

First up, we have “Eddington” (Nov. 14), the latest film from Ari Aster. It’s a bit different from his usual style, with a more grounded approach but still full of twists. The story follows a clash between a New Mexico mayor and his sheriff during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to some bizarre situations. Starring Pedro Pascal, Joaquin Phoenix, and Emma Stone, this thriller has garnered mixed reviews, but I’m intrigued.

Next, if you’re into some drama, check out “The Seduction” (Nov. 12). This French-language series is a prequel to the film “Dangerous Liaisons” and focuses on the Marquise de Merteuil as she uses her sexuality to climb the social ladder. Starring Diane Kruger, Noée Abita, and Anamaria Vartolomei, this show promises some steamy content.

And finally, don’t miss “Thoughts & Prayers” (Nov. 18). This documentary explores the impact of school shootings on students, parents, and teachers across America. With the active shooter preparedness industry now a multi-billion dollar business, this film asks important questions about its effects on our children.

In addition to these picks, HBO Max has some other new releases this week:
– Nov. 14: “Eddington,” “One to One: John & Yoko,” “Silly Sundays – Season 1D,” “The Seduction”
– Nov. 15: “The Last Woodsmen – Season 2”
– Nov. 18: “Gingerbread Land: The Biggest Little Holiday Competition – Season 1,” “Thoughts & Prayers”
– Nov. 20: “Missing (2023),” “Work on the Wild Side – Season 1”

So grab your snacks and get ready to stream some great content on HBO Max this week!
