The biggest event on Max in September is the debut of HBO original series and DC Studios production The Penguin, a spinoff of the 2022 film The Batman. Colin Farrell will reprise his role as the titular character in the eight-episode limited run, which is set one week after the events in the movie. The premiere will air on HBO (and will be available on Max) on Thursday, September 19 at 9 pm ET, with new episodes dropping on Sundays beginning September 29.
September will also bring two films from A24 and one from Studio Ghibli. From the latter is The Boy and the Heron (Sept. 6), an animated fantasy about a boy who befriends a talking grey heron after his mother’s death, with characters voiced by Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson, and Florence Pugh.
A24’s Civil War (Sept. 13) is a dystopian thriller in which military-embedded journalists try to reach Washington, D.C. before rebels take down the government. The film—A24’s most expensive to date—was written and directed by Alex Garland and stars Kirsten Dunst, Nick Offerman, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Sonoya Mizuno. The other A24 debut is I Saw The TV Glow (Sept. 20), a horror-drama that premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is the second installment of writer/director Jane Schoenbrun’s Screen Trilogy.
Here’s everything else coming to Max in September, including season four of HBO original drama My Brilliant Friend (Sept. 9).
