The first of six episodes will debut on September 5, followed by one new episode weekly through October 10.
Four African American families pack up all their belongings, risking everything to move to the new land of opportunity: Africa. Enticed by cheap housing and picturesque landscapes, these families travel 5000 miles to find love, jobs, and a better life. First, they’ll have to survive the inevitable culture shock – but if they can endure the first 60 days, their lives could be changed forever.
THE BOY AND THE HERON (Studio Ghibli Film)
Debuts September 6
After losing his mother in a hospital fire, young Mahito moves to his family’s estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, which is home to a mischievous gray heron.
When Mahito’s new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, as well as the truth about himself.
WISE GUY DAVID CHASE AND THE SOPRANOS (HBO Original Two-Part Documentary)
Part One and Part Two will debut back-to-back on HBO and will be available to stream on Max on Saturday, September 7.
25 years after the show first debuted, HBO’s paradigm-shifting series “The Sopranos” remains a cultural phenomenon and a touchstone for prestige television.
In “Wise Guy David Chase and The Sopranos,” acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney delves deep into the psyche of renowned “Sopranos” creator and writer David Chase to illuminate his life and career while offering a unique window into his unparalleled work on the iconic program.
MY BRILLIANT FRIEND SEASON 4 (HBO Original Drama Series)
The 10-episode season debuts on Monday, September 9 at (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. New episodes will debut on subsequent Mondays.
Based on the bestselling novels by Elena Ferrante, “My Brilliant Friend” follows Elena Greco and the most important friend in her life, Raffaella “Lila” Cerullo. After meeting as children in 1950s Naples, their story goes on to cover over 60 years, exploring the mystery of Lila – Elena’s brilliant best friend and, in a way, her worst enemy.
The fourth installment of the saga, titled “Story of the Lost Child,” delves into the adult lives of Elena and Lila. They find themselves entangled in the turmoil of Italy in the late 1980s, nearing the end of decades of political violence and social unrest. Amid motherhood and career demands, amid betrayals, threats, disappearances, and natural disasters, Elena and Lila once again reside in the same neighborhood.
CIVIL WAR (A24 Film)
Debuts September 13
“Civil War,” by filmmaker Alex Garland, tells the story of a dystopian future America, following a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach Washington, D.C. before rebel factions descend upon the White House.
