New on HBO and HBO Max in July 2021

Summertime is here, and HBO and HBO Max have a lot of great new movies and TV shows to watch this July. The HBO Max streaming service has quickly solidified itself as one of the best in the game, with a robust library of great movies going back decades alongside prestige HBO programs and, of course, in 2021 brand new releases. In terms of what’s new to HBO Max in July 2021, this month sees the simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max debut of Space Jam: A New Legacy on July 16th. The film will be streaming for 31 days, but only with the $14.99 ad-free plan of HBO Max. If you subscribe to HBO Max with ads, you won’t be able to watch Space Jam 2.

But there are plenty of other highlights as well. July 1st brings the premiere of Steven Soderbergh’s 1950s-set crime thriller No Sudden Move, a brilliant and thrilling and funny crime story about a heist that goes wrong. It’s an HBO Max original, so it won’t be in theaters – only on HBO Max.

July also sees the return of Oscar-winner Judas and the Black Messiah after it made its initial premiere on HBO Max and in theaters earlier this year, and it will be streaming for the next few months.

In terms of new TV shows, the highly anticipated Gossip Girl reboot debuts in July, as does the new series from Enlightened creator Mike White, The White Lotus. There’s also the docuseries Catch and Kill which adapts Ronan Farrow’s book of the same name about the investigation into Harvey Weinstein.

As for library titles, I cannot recommend the cult horror film The Empty Man enough. It was released in late 2020 and essentially buried, but this David Fincher-esque thriller quickly built up a cult following. Other new additions include the horror comedy Freaky, the original Planet of the Apes films, Pleasantville, the first three Scream movies, the underseen thriller The Hunt co-written by Damon Lindelof, and an unrated and uncut version of White Chicks if that’s your jam. See? HBO Max really does have a little of everything.

Check out the full list of what’s new on HBO and HBO Max in July 2021.
