FEATURED PROGRAMMING
ELIZABETH TAYLOR: THE LOST TAPES (HBO Original Documentary)
Debuts August 3 at 8 p.m. ET
Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes allows Elizabeth Taylor’s own voice to narrate her story, inviting audiences to rediscover not just a megastar of Hollywood’s Golden Age but a complex woman who navigated lifelong fame, personal identity, and public scrutiny on a global stage from early childhood.
Through newly recovered interviews with Taylor and unprecedented access to the movie star’s personal archive, the film reveals the complex inner life and vulnerability of the Hollywood legend while also challenging audiences to recontextualize her achievements and her legacy.
HARD KNOCKS: TRAINING CAMP WITH THE CHICAGO BEARS (HBO Original Sports Documentary Series)
Debuts August 6 at 9 p.m. ET. The season will consist of five episodes and will be aired weekly on HBO and Max after its August 6 debut.
Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears will mark the 19th edition of the 18-time Sports Emmy-winning series, which will deliver all-access coverage of the Chicago Bears’ training camp in Lake Forest, Illinois, this summer.
General manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus will be at the helm, guiding 2024’s first overall draft pick, quarterback Caleb Williams, 2024’s ninth overall pick, wide receiver Rome Odunze, and an array of veteran players including DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Jaylon Johnson, and Montez Sweat.
TAKEN TOGETHER: WHO KILLED LYRIC AND ELIZABETH? (Max Original Documentary Series)
Debuts August 8
Known as “the case that haunts the Midwest,” the three-episode series dives into the haunting 2012 double abduction of two cousins, 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins, in Evansdale, Iowa.
With over seven years of exclusive access and insider interviews conducted by Sires, including an additional young girl who escaped her kidnapper against all odds, compelling footage of the two victim’s families over a crucial passage of time, and new information around the case, Taken Together: Who Killed Lyric and Elizabeth? offers a searing and unforgettable lens on this unimaginable crime.
INDUSTRY SEASON 3 (HBO Original Drama Series)
Debuts August 11 at 9 p.m. ET. The season will consist of 8 episodes and will air weekly on HBO and Max after its August 11 debut.
Industry gives an insider’s view of the black box of high finance following a group of young bankers as they forge their identities within the pressure cooker environment and sex and drug-fueled blitz of international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office.
In season three, as Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey), and Eric (Ken Leung) find themselves front and center in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media, and government.
Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper (Myha’la) is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig (Sarah Goldberg).
CHIMP CRAZY (HBO Original Documentary Series)
The documentary series will debut on August 18 at 10 p.m. ET. It will be four episodes long and will be rolled out weekly on HBO and Max after its August 18 debut.
Former nurse-turned-exotic animal broker Tonia Haddix, who refers to herself as the “Dolly Parton of chimps,” spends her days caring for animals in captivity. However, her limitless love for one chimpanzee in particular spins into a wild cat-and-mouse game with authorities and an animal rights group.
Through Tonia’s and other “chimp mom” experiences, Chimp Crazy reveals the singular bonds that form between owners and their highly intelligent great ape pets. The series exposes the risks humans take when they try to raise these animals as members of their family, as well as the risks to the welfare of the animals themselves.
CITY OF GOD: THE FIGHT RAGES ON (HBO Original Drama Series)
Debuts August 25
In 2004, 20 years after the events of the movie, the release of a young trafficker from jail puts the favela City of God back into the midst of a power struggle. Residents find themselves trapped between traffickers, militia, businesspeople, and the government, but the need to break free from this cycle causes the community to unite around a project to confront the oppressor.
The cast of the six-episode series includes Alexandre Rodrigues, Thiago Martins, Roberta Rodrigues, Sabrina Rosa, Kiko Marques, and Edson Oliveira. New cast members include Andréia Horta, Marcos Palmeira, Jefferson Brasil, Eli Ferreira, Luellem de Castro, Otávio Linhares, Rafael Lozano, Leandro Daniel, and Luiz Bertazzo.
