New HBO Max TV Shows and Movies in July 2026

HBO Max's biggest TV premiere in July is, in fact, a Big Bang Theory spin-off. Were you hoping for Old Sheldon, or maybe Even Younger Sheldon? Too bad! It's Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, a new series about Kevin Sussman's titular comic book store owner entering the multiverse. And if that's not your thing, new episodes of House of the Dragon air every Sunday night.

On the movies end, HBO continues its partnership with A24 this month. Coming to HBO Max in July are the Zendaya-Robert Pattinson dark comedy The Drama; as well as the Sofia Coppola-directed documentary Marc By Sofia, in which she interviews her longtime friend, the designer Marc Jacobs. The Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, starring Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, also hits the streaming service this month.

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

The best new HBO Max shows and movies in July

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

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe (July 23, HBO Max)

Big Bang Theory spin-offs are a varied bunch. They've been set in the late 1980s as a single-camera coming-of-age sitcom, the mid-1990s as a multi-camera family sitcom, and now, all over the space-time continuum with Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman), owner of the Comic Center, leads the cast of characters in this sci-fi comedy in which Stuart, Bert (Brian Posehn), Denise (Lauren Lapkus), and Barry (John Ross Bowie) get into multiverse shenanigans. -Tim Surette [Trailer]

The Drama (July 31, HBO Max)

The Drama sparked a lot of, well, drama from audiences when it premiered in movie theaters earlier this year, but to explain why would be a major spoiler. And if you don't know the big — sorry — drama at the center of this film, you're better off going in blind. What we can tell you is that the film, written and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test by a disturbing revelation ahead of their wedding. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]
