Our watch might have ended onHouse of the Dragonseason 2, but there are plenty more exciting shows to stream onMaxthis year and next.
In a new teaser released on the streaming giant following theHouse of the Dragonseason 2 finale, viewers were treated to a two-minute sizzle reel of highly anticipated series that’ll arrive over the next 12 months. Chief among the trailer’s footage are our first looks atThe Last of Usseason 2and the nextGame of Thronesprequel,A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is currently shooting in Northern Ireland.
If post-apocalypse-led or high-fantasy shows aren’t your idea of a good time, there are numerous other great series that’ll debut on Max, aka one of the world’sbest streaming services, in the not too distant future. Leading the charge isThe Penguin, a spin-off fromThe Batmanthat’ll see Colin Farrell reprise his role as Oz Cobb from the acclaimed 2022 film in a gritty and brutal neo-noir crime thriller. It’ll be released on Max (US) on September 19, and Sky/Now TV (UK) and Binge (Australia) on September 20.
In fact, UK and Australian audiences won’t miss out on any of the aforementioned and soon-to-be-mentioned HBO-produced shows.The Last of Us' sophomore season,A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and practically every other series shown in the new Max teaser will debut on these nations' previously mentioned platforms, so non-US residents will be able to watch them alongside their American counterparts.
Other shows teased in the trailer that I’ll be keeping my eye on include season 3 of acclaimed anthology dark-comedy dramaThe White Lotus, the first official project in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) inCreature Commandos,Itprequel horror seriesWelcome to Derry, andDune: Prophecy, another prequel series set hundreds of years before the events of the Denis Villeneuve-directedDunefilms.
When will The Last of Us season 2 be released on Max?
Unfortunately, we still don’t know whenThe Last of Uswill return to our screens. Filming is ongoing on the award-winning TV adaptation of Naughty Dog’s wildly popular video game series, but a new document on theDirector’s Guild of Canadawebsite suggests that principal photography will wrap on August 21. If it does. and as long as there are no post-production hiccups, I predict that we’ll see one of thebest Max showsreturn sometime in early 2025.
Other big-budget shows, includingA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,The White Lotusseason 3, andWelcome to Derrydon’t have official launch dates, either. According to the Max sizzle reel teaser, this trio also won’t arrive on the streaming platform until 2025, so you and I have got a long wait on our hands to get our fix of high-fantasy, comedic melodrama, and supernatural horror.
