4 Blocks Zero (HBO Original Drama Series)
The eight-episode season premieres on September 25, with new episodes debuting weekly.
Set in 1990s Berlin, this prequel to the Max Original series “4 Blocks” explores the early years of the Hamady family. Having fled from Lebanon with his four children and mother-in-law, Malik Hamady (Rami Fadel Khalaf) attempts to provide a better life for his family in Germany but struggles to gain a foothold amid prejudice and the challenges of daily life.
When his brother-in-law Ibrahim (Tariq Al-Saies) is released from prison after eight years and joins the rest of the family, his dangerous secret sets off a chain reaction. As Ibrahim is drawn deeper into the criminal underworld, the Hamadys’ values are put to the ultimate test, jeopardizing their safety and everything they’ve worked towards to secure a new future.
Cast: Tariq Al-Saies as Ibrahim, Tareq Nassery as Ali, later known as Toni Hamady, Rami Fadel Khalaf as Ali’s father Malik, and Soufiane El Mesaudi as Ali’s brother Abbas. Also part of the family are grandmother Hanin (Fatima Khanfour), younger siblings Marwan (Almountaser “Monty” Alchltouh) and Amara (Siana Zayed), as well as cousin Latif (Mohammad Eliraqui).
Vince Kerner is portrayed by Luis Vorbach. Further cast members include Bella Dayne, Mohamed Kanj Khamis, Jule Hermann, Sevda Polat, Samir Salim, Enno Trebs, and Mark Waschke.

DOCUMENTARIES
A Killer Story (HBO Original Three-Part Documentary Series)
The three-episode season premieres on September 10, with new episodes debuting weekly.
“A Killer Story” examines a polarizing murder case that spanned more than two decades and captured national attention. At the center of the case is Dana Chandler, who was accused of killing her ex-husband and his girlfriend in 2002.
Lacking forensic evidence, the murder case is litigated over three arduous trials with the series unspooling a complex tale of family conflicts, betrayal, prosecutorial misconduct, competing narratives and confirmation bias. More than a murder mystery, “A Killer Story” probes true crime obsession and the dangers of blinkered certainty in a case where the truth may never be known.
Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents “A Killer Story,” a Story Syndicate production in association with Concordia Studio and Fairhaven. Directed and executive produced by Matthew Galkin; producer, Joe Sexton; executive producers, Joshua Levine, Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, Jon Bardin, Kate Barry, Julie Gaither, Davis Guggenheim, Jonathan Silberberg, and Nicole Stott.
JAŸ-Z in 8 (HBO Original Eight-Part Documentary Series)
The eight-episode season premieres with two episodes on September 18, with two new episodes debuting weekly.
30 years after his landmark debut album “Reasonable Doubt,” artist, icon, philanthropist, nad entrepreneur JAŸ-Z sits down with longtime friend, producer, and director Rick Rubin for an intimate reflection on his storied career, revisiting the music together and unpacking his work and life through a shared listening and illuminating conversation.
Featuring many of JAŸ-Z’s iconic tracks and album cuts, including “99 Problems,” “Brooklyn’s Finest,” and “4:44,” the eight-episode series offers a deeply revealing portrait of the artist and his work, exploring the influences and inspiration that shaped both the man and his music.
Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents JAŸ-Z IN 8, a Tetragrammaton production. Directed by Rick Rubin; executive producers, Shawn Carter, Daniel Kaluuya, and Rick Rubin; producers, Leila Mattimore and David Rohde; co-producers, Harlin Lawal and Will Mavronicolas; director of photography Bradford Young.
Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie (HBO Original Documentary)
Debuts September 22
While searching the internet one day, Hollywood veteran Marlee Matlin came upon the story of athlete Shelley Beattie – a fellow deaf woman whose life felt eerily like her own. Both women had experienced adventure and fame, but also discrimination, abuse, and addiction while navigating a hearing world.
“Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie,” directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Irene Taylor, explores the parallels between the two legendary women in a haunting portrait of strength, beauty, and resiliency.
Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents “Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie,” a Vermilion Films Production. Directed and produced by Irene Taylor; produced by Marlee Matlin, Lauren Mueller, Stacy Lorts.
Miller Night Football (HBO Original Documentary)
Debuts September 29
“Miller Night Football,” the first in a series of 2026 “NFL Shorts,” chronicles comedian Dennis Miller’s unlikely arrival in the “Monday Night Football” (MNF) broadcast booth in 2000, alongside veteran sportscaster Al Michaels and former NFL quarterback Dan Fouts.
Intended to reinvigorate the iconic television franchise and attract a broader audience, Miller’s addition and his distinctly cerebral brand of humor were met with both intrigue and skepticism across sports and television.
Credits: An NFL Films production; directed and edited by Jeff Cameron; executive produced by Ross Ketover, Ken Rodgers, Keith Cossrow, and Jessica Boddy.
