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

This May, HBO Max is springing into a wide array of award-winning comedies, documentaries, and thrillers from a unique group of creators.

• Fans will immerse themselves in season two of the Emmy-winning “Hacks” (5/12). In this new chapter of the comedy series, the dark mentorship between legendary Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance and her young, entitled writer Ava continues to evolve as the two travel across the country workshopping Deborah’s new stand-up act.
• A horrible accident or a crime of passion? Based on a true story, “The Staircase” (5/5), takes viewers behind the closed doors of a once happy home that abruptly became the scene of a murder. Starring Academy Award-winner Colin Firth and Emmy Award-winner Toni Collette, this limited series will have everyone on the edge of their seats.
• “The Time Traveler’s Wife” (5/15), inspired by the much-loved novel by Audrey Niffenegger and adapted by Stephen Moffat, tells the story of an enchanting love story between Clare and Henry. The love story has one small problem… time travel.

This month also brings a diverse array of A-list talent that reflects the beauty and complexities of the human experience. Stories that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between, will resonate with viewers as they see experiences that mirror their own unique journeys.

• Take a deeper look into George Carlin, the man dubbed the “dean of counterculture comedians,” in the two-part documentary “George Carlin’s American Dream.” From Emmy-winning directors Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, the documentary explores a cultural chameleon who is remembered as one of the most influential stand-up comics of all time.
•  Michael Che is guaranteed to make everyone laugh in the season two premiere of “That Damn Michael Che” (5/26), where he illustrates what it feels like to experience everyday situations including racial profiling, unemployment, falling in love and more.
• Join Sam Jay’s house party with the season two premiere of “PAUSE with Sam Jay,” a comedy-talk-variety show that’s an interview platform, a comedy show and a cultural lesson all in one.

HBO Max has a content lineup for fans of all genres ranging from science fiction to family favorites to movie musicals, we’ve got the perfect line-up for the whole household.

• Red or blue pill? Fans of the Matrix trilogy will enjoy Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Matrix: Resurrections” (5/10) when it returns to HBO Max in the month. Set sixty years after the revolutions, the film follows Neo to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more.
• Things are not what they seem on the tropical secluded beach in “Old” (5/13), which follows a family on a holiday vacation that discovers a secluded beach that is somehow causing them to age rapidly, reducing their entire lives into a single day.
• “Dear Evan Hansen” (5/6), is an American coming-of-age musical film about a high school student with social anxiety, adapted from the hit award-winning musical of the same name.
• Travel through the depths of space in “Zathura: A Space Adventure” (5/1), where three siblings’ house is transported into space, and they are forced to finish a magical 1950s space-adventure board game.
• For little ones, Cartoonito on HBO Max is debuting “Sesame Street Mecha Builders” (5/10), an all-new preschool animated series from Sesame Workshop. Sesame Street Mecha Builders reimagines Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby as robot heroes in training who use their STEM superpowers to solve wacky larger-than-life problems. Animated in a dynamic 3D style, this series will help older preschoolers practice foundational critical thinking skills while laughing along with their Sesame Street friends.
