HBO Max is filling its October schedule with a London-set legal drama, a returning series and a new comedy special. The platform’s September 24 programming announcement lays out the dates, giving viewers a clearer way to plan the month without treating every title as available already.
What has started and what comes next
War, an eight-episode HBO/Sky drama about rival London law firms, debuted October 1. New episodes are scheduled weekly on Thursdays. Its cast includes Archie Renaux as a young lawyer drawn into a major dispute between the firms.
The second season of Rage (Furia) is scheduled for October 9, with eight episodes rolling out weekly on Fridays. HBO Max lists Maribel Verdú, Carmen Maura and María León among its cast.
Kate Berlant’s HBO original stand-up special Parmesan is scheduled for October 16. The announced slate also includes A24 films The Invite and The Death of Robin Hood, along with documentaries. Availability and release timing may vary by market; the announcement concerns HBO Max’s U.S. lineup.
How to find a starting point
Viewers looking for a weekly series can start with War, while those waiting for a complete season should note that its episodes are being released over time. The October 9 and October 16 titles are upcoming as of October 4.
