Any good new documentaries on HBO Max?

Top New Movies on HBO Max This Week

Only two new movies arrive on HBO Max this week.

Nov 13 – The End of Oak Street (2026)

Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star in this sci-fi thriller from director David Robert Mitchell, about a suburban street that’s suddenly dropped into a world full of dinosaurs. It played in theaters earlier this year.

Think of it as a family adventure with real teeth. It’s fun and well made, but some scenes are frightening, so I’d save it for teens and up.

Nov 14 – Madame Web (2024)

Dakota Johnson plays a New York paramedic who starts seeing the future and ends up protecting three young women from a villain. Sydney Sweeney co-stars. It’s part of Sony’s Spider-Man universe.

I’ll be honest: critics weren’t kind to this one, and it skews young. Watch it only if your grandkids are superhero fans and want company on the couch. Expect PG-13 action.

Top New TV Series on HBO Max This Week

Nov 9 – Tournament of Champions: All-Star Christmas Season 2 (2026)

Food Network’s holiday spin on its chef competition returns, with well-known chefs going head to head on festive dishes.

It’s easygoing, family-friendly TV and a good way to collect ideas for your own holiday table. Nothing to worry about here.

Nov 13 – Clangold (2026)

This German documentary follows the 2017 theft of the Big Maple Leaf, a 100-kilogram gold coin taken from Berlin’s Bode Museum, and the investigators who tracked the thieves into the city’s crime-family underworld.

A real-life heist told like a thriller. It’s in German with subtitles, and there’s talk of organized crime but little that’s graphic. A good pick for curious minds.

Nov 13 – Crown of Deceit: Inside the Miss Universe Scandal (2026)

TLC’s docuseries looks at the controversy surrounding the Miss Universe pageant and the allegations about how it’s been run.

If you grew up watching the pageant on TV with the whole family, you might find this behind-the-scenes look eye-opening. It’s gossipy rather than grim.

Nov 13 – Maniacs of the Truth (2026)

HBO’s first Hungarian true-crime documentary series is two parts long. Retired homicide detectives sit down in a Budapest office and go back over the biggest cases of their careers, from the last years of communism and after.
