HBO Max: Coming and Leaving in April 2022

HBO Max announced the list of films, series, and specials that are coming and leaving the streaming service during April 2022.

This April, HBO Max brings a diverse slate of award-winning thrillers, mysteries, and fantasy series that fans will love, not just watch. The original comedies coming to the platform are guaranteed to make fans LOL.

  • Fasten your seatbelts! In the season two premiere of the Emmy®-winning series “The Flight Attendant” (4/21), Cassie is living her best sober life in Los Angeles while moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time. But when an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue.
  • HBO Max continues to celebrate Black girl magic with the season three premiere of the Emmy®-winning series “A Black Lady Sketch Show” (4/8), set in a limitless magical reality full of dynamic, hilarious characters and celebrity guests.
  • The Emmy®-winning dark comedy series “Barry” (4/24) returns in the month, following an ex-killer for hire desperate to leave his violent past behind and immerse himself in acting.

This month also brings one-of-a-kind real-life stories that reflect the human experience on the screen. Fans will immerse themselves into stories of complex characters that connect with everyone.

  • From Academy Award®-winner Barry Levinson comes “The Survivor” (4/27), an HBO Original from filmmaker Barry Levinson, and starring Ben Foster as the lead. Tells an incredible true story of Harry Haft, who, after being sent to Auschwitz, survives not only the inhumane persecution of the camp, but the gladiatorial boxing spectacles he is forced to perform with his fellow prisoners for the amusement of his captors.
  • From the producers of HBO’s critically acclaimed “The Wire,” comes “We Own This City,” (4/25) chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption permeating an American city.
  • Fans will get a full 360 look into the life of legendary pro skateboarder Tony Hawk in the feature documentary “Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off” (4/5). This documentary is an all-encompassing look at the skateboarder’s life, legendary career, and relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades.
  • Inspired by Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, “Tokyo Vice” (4/7) captures Adelstein’s daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where betrayal and suspicion lurk behind every corner.

Other original programming premiering this month delivers a wide array of unique stories that resonate across all genres. The following titles will deliver new distinctive storylines, multi-dimensional characters and talk-worthy content.

  • Fans of Adam McKay will enjoy “The Invisible Pilot” (4/4), a three-part documentary series by Emmy®-winning filmmakers Phil Lott and Ari Mark. The labyrinthine story is a tale of a daring husband and father who unexpectedly jumps off of a bridge in 1977, despite his successful career as a pilot and seemingly happy home life. The story begins in the Midwest and ends up as part of one of the biggest political scandals of the 21st century.
  • Part two of “The Way Down: God, Greed, And The Cult Of Gwen Shamblin” (4/28), directed by Primetime Emmy®-winning filmmaker Marina Zenovich, highlights the legacy of Remnant’s infamous leader, whose life came to a shocking end after a plane crash in May 2021.
  • Mystery fans can follow Hercule Poirot’s investigation with “Death On The Nile” (3/29), an adaptation of a classic tale, following a murder mystery. While on vacation on the Nile, Hercule Poirot must investigate the murder of a young heiress.
  • Horror fans will get their thrills from “The Night House” (4/8), which follows Beth, a widow who discovers a dark secret about the house her deceased architect husband built. During her investigation of the house, she soon realizes its disturbing secrets.
  • Additional highly anticipated originals debuting this month include The Emmy®-nominated Max Original series “Made for Love” (4/28), returns for its second season.  Starring Cristin Milioti, Ray Romano, and Billy Magnussen, the comedy series is a cynically poignant story of love and divorce, season two of “Gentleman Jack,”, documentary series “Not So Pretty” (4/14), the season five premiere of the international hit “The Great Pottery Throw Down” (4/14), and the season 4 part B premiere of “Young Justice” (3/31).
