HBO Max Weekly Highlights: March 6, 2026

HBO Max is gearing up for a big merger with Paramount+, but until then, they’re still churning out fresh content each week. This week and beyond, you can expect a great lineup of comedies, documentaries, and reality TV to keep you entertained.

First up, on March 6th, we have “Fackham Hall,” a period comedy set in 1930s England. If you’re a fan of shows like Downton Abbey and Bridgerton, this one might be right up your alley. The show follows Ben Radcliffe, who plays a thief that lands a job at the posh Fackham Hall and gets mixed up in all sorts of shenanigans.

Next, on March 8th, we’ve got “Rooster,” a new comedy series starring Steve Carell. Co-created by Bill Lawrence, the mind behind hits like Ted Lasso and Scrubs, this show promises a peek into the world of modern academia. Carell plays Greg Russo, a writer of airport fiction who takes a job as a guest lecturer at his daughter’s college. It looks like a smart and entertaining look at university life.

For those interested in documentaries, be sure to catch “Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare” on March 10th. This film explores the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima earthquake and tsunami that led to a nuclear disaster in Japan. The documentary delves into the government’s response to the crisis and how the Fukushima area has coped in the years since.

And don’t forget to check out the new releases headed to HBO Max this week. From comedies to reality TV, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. It’s shaping up to be a great week for streaming entertainment on HBO Max!
