Everything New on Max
B/R Sports schedule
A new month means fresh movies and shows are arriving on HBO and Max in April 2025, delivering another stacked lineup from Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO and studios like A24.
Leading the charge this month is “The Last of Us” season 2, which is set to be another emotional rollercoaster through its post-apocalyptic world. The sharp and hilarious “Hacks” returns for its fourth season, bringing the dynamic duo back to the small screen. And Nicole Kidman brings the heat in “Babygirl,” a steamy psychological thriller with plenty of drama.
Ready to see what’s coming next month? Here’s everything new on HBO and Max in April 2025. Plus, if you’re looking for more must-watch content, check out our guide to the best shows currently streaming on Max.
New on Max in April 2025: Top picks
‘Hacks’ season 4 (April 10)
Hacks Season 4 | Official Trailer | Max - YouTube
“Hacks” season 4 marks the return of one of the best comedies on streaming, and the wait for its two-part premiere won’t be long.
In the upcoming fourth season, the complex relationship between veteran comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and her young writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) continues to evolve amidst new professional challenges.
Following the dramatic events of season 3, where Ava secured the head writer position on Deborah's new late-night show through blackmail, the duo must navigate the fallout from this betrayal while striving to make the show a success.

‘The Last of Us’ season 2 (April 13)
The Last of Us Season 2 | Official Trailer | Max - YouTube
In theory, I should be ecstatic that “The Last of Us” Season 2 is just weeks away. As a huge fan of the games, I already have a pretty good idea of what’s coming — and that’s exactly why I’m so anxious about watching it unfold. But let me be clear: despite my nerves, I’m confident it’s going to be unmissable, must-see TV.
Season 2 picks up five years after the events of the first season. Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) have settled in Jackson, Wyoming, attempting to build a peaceful life within a thriving community. However, the repercussions of Joel's actions from the previous season loom large, straining his relationship with Ellie.
A significant new character, Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), enters the narrative along with Dina (Isabela Merced), Jesse (Young Mazino), Joel’s therapist Gail (Catherine O’Hara), and more.

‘Babygirl’ (April 25)
Babygirl | Official Trailer HD | A24 - YouTube
A24’s erotic thriller “Babygirl” is set to make its debut on Max in late April. Following its theatrical release in late December 2024, the movie sparked plenty of conversation — both for its bold themes and its critical acclaim.
Despite the controversy, “Babygirl” has clearly earned high praise and was even recognized as one of the best movies of 2024 by the National Board of Review.
Romy (Nicole Kidman) is a high-profile CEO who becomes entangled in a risky romance with her young intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). As their intense affair unfolds, she finds herself jeopardizing not only her career but also the stability of her family life.
