HBO Max has announced the movies and TV shows coming to the streaming service in April, as well as what is leaving next month. In addition to the HBO Max April 2022 lineup, we’ve included what is specifically coming to and leaving HBO.
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 witness a murder inadvertently, 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 HBO Max April 2022 slate also includes Barry Season 3. The Emmy-winning dark comedy series follows an ex-killer for hire who is desperate to leave his violent past behind and immerse himself in acting.
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. The film tells an incredible true story of Harry Haft, who, after being sent to Auschwitz, survives not only the inhumane persecution of the camp but also 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.
The HBO Max April 2022 schedule also includes 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 originals debuting in April include the Emmy-nominated Max Original series Made for Love (4/28), which 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.
Coming as well are season two of Gentleman Jack, the 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).
