New Max and HBO Shows and Movies in June 2024

Max is kicking summer off in the most grandiose way imaginable: House of the Dragon is returning for Season 2. The second season of the Game of Thrones prequel premieres halfway through the month, but if you need something to hold you over until then, why not give Julio Torres' surreal Fantasmas a try? Also premiering in June are Hacks star Hannah Einbinder's debut stand-up special Everything Must Go, the Safdie brothers-produced docuseries Ren Faire, and Dakota Johnson's new movie Am I OK?

Below, we pulled together our picks for the month, plus a list of everything coming to HBO and Max in June.

The best new HBO and Max movies and shows in June

Max streams all HBO shows and movies when they debut on HBO. But not all shows and movies on Max make it to HBO. We'll designate Max exclusives where appropriate.

Am I OK? (June 6, Max)

Madame Web herself, Dakota Johnson, stars in this dramedy film co-directed by real life married couple Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne, loosely inspired by Allynne's life. Johnson plays Lucy, a woman navigating coming out in her 30s with the help of her best friend, Jane (Sonoya Mizuno). -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

Fantasmas (June 7, HBO)

After the sad cancellation of his surreal and underrated HBO series Los Espookys, the great Julio Torres (fresh off last year's Problemista, his feature film directorial debut, which happens to be hitting Max on June 28) makes his grand return to TV with Fantasmas, a six-episode comedy that he directs, writes, and stars in. In the series, Torres plays a man named Julio searching through a dreamy, alternate reality version of New York City for a lost gold earring shaped like an oyster. If you know Torres' work, this sounds extremely him. Julia Fox, Kim Petras, and Steve Buscemi will appear in guest roles. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]

House of the Dragon Season 2 (June 16, HBO)

Just as winter was interminably coming to Game of Thrones and finally did so late in its run, we've been similarly promised war in House of the Dragon, and the Thrones prequel will get closer than ever to properly throwing down in Season 2. Expect the full machinations of cold war rippling throughout Westeros as shows of force sway the various lords to pick a side: the Greens, led by Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and her son King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), and the Blacks, fronted by Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) and her uncle-slash-husband (yes, this is the icky incestuous world of Game of Thrones) Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith). The sour taste left in my mouth after the late seasons of Thrones completely went away after downing Season 1 of House of the Dragon, and Season 2 looks better and bigger in every way. -Tim Surette [Trailer] [Everything we know about House of the Dragon Season 2]
