Although it still has a long way to go to catch up to Netflix, HBO Max is gradually building a reputation for both an impressive library of content and its own original programming. As well as reportedly working on a number of Batman-focused series, the WarnerMedia streamer is also absorbing shows from DC Universe, and funding the Snyder Cut of Justice League. We now know what’s coming to HBO Max in September, and there’s plenty there for subscribers to sink their teeth into.
The big original series highlight next month is the Ridley Scott-produced Raised by Wolves, which explores two androids raising human children. Created by Adam Guzikowski, the program could be one of HBO Max’s first big hits with critics and audiences, and is set to arrive on September 3rd. Other notable originals include comedy Unpregnant, wherein a pregnant teenager travels to Mexico with her former best friend to try and get an abortion.
One of the advantages HBO Max has over its rivals is the ability to source quality content from the main HBO pay cable service, which will include in the next month Coastal Elites, an original film that tackles life under COVID-19. While unlikely to be the last production to deal with the coronavirus, Elites has the pedigree of Jay Roach directing and a cast that includes Bette Midler, Sarah Paulson and Issa Rae. Subscribers will also be able to watch the Luca Guadagnino miniseries We Are Who We Are, set on a U.S. military base near Venice, Italy.
HBO Max’s deep vault of movie titles is also getting touched up for the fall with fresh additions such as Grease, The Bodyguard and The Wedding Singer, as well as the more recently released Just Mercy, The Invisible Man and A Hidden Life, to name a few.
Here, then, is everything arriving on the HBO Max platform for September…

These latest updates to HBO Max certainly support WarnerMedia’s chief executive Jason Kilar’s recent claim that that their offerings can compete with Netflix and other rivals in terms of quality, if not yet quantity. However, it will arguably be, like their competitors, the distinction of their exclusive original content like Raised by Wolves that will define whether it’s worth paying a subscription fee for well-known series and films that can be found elsewhere.
