We’re in the dead of summer now, and Max is adding to the heat with what’s new in August. This includes one of Adam Sandler’s greatest movies, the best action movies of Liam Neeson’s career and a documentary about one of Hollywood’s most iconic legends. Plus, this month sees the return of a hit HBO drama.
There’s a lot coming to Max, and below we have a complete list of everything new. But first, here are some recommendations.
Best TV show on Max in August: Industry season 3 (August 11)
Industry season 3 makes its highly anticipated return to the airwaves in August, and that’s great news for those who love watching ambition play out on screen between the young and ruthless of the corporate world. While it may not be a period piece with the fanfare of House of the Dragon, it still has plenty of drama, romance and downright cutthroat behavior, and a Game of Thrones alum joining the cast in Kit Harrington.
Best movie on Max in August: Grown Ups (August 1)
Adam Sandler has starred in several classic movies over the years. The Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, 50 First Dates, and Big Daddy are just a few of his well-known flicks. However, one of my favorite movies from the legendary comic is Grown Ups. Not only does he have Chris Rock, Kevin James, Maya Rudolph and Salma Hayek as co-stars, but all the jokes in the movie always put a smile on my face regardless of the number of times I’ve seen the movie. If Grown Ups isn’t enough, Grown Ups 2 also joins Max this August.
Additionally, the standout action movie of Liam Neeson’s career, Taken, becomes available on August 1.
Best documentary on Max in August — Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes (August 3)
HBO continues to build quite the repertoire of celebrity documentaries. Joining HBO’s lineup in August is Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes. Through Taylor’s own words, viewers get to hear about her experiences navigating through fame and personal struggles. For fans of the two-time Oscar winner, it’s been teased that the doc shows the "vulnerability of the Hollywood legend."
Now if you’re someone who’s in the mood for a documentary more of the sports variety, Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears debuts on August 6.
