HBO Max: new in January
The Prince – 1 January
Series. The Prince, created by Gary Janetti, is an animated comedy that satirically imagines the inner workings of the royal family through the eyes of a fictionalised Prince George, the youngest heir to the throne.
From spilling royal ‘tea’ to skewering palace protocol, George offers a mischievous and unfiltered look at his family, their followers, and the monarchy at large. With a star-studded voice cast, the series delivers an outlandishly funny, warm, and singular parody of life inside Buckingham Palace.
Janetti leads the ensemble as Prince George, joined by Orlando Bloom as Prince Harry, Alan Cumming as George’s loyal butler Owen, Frances de la Tour as Queen Elizabeth, Lucy Punch as Kate Middleton, Condola Rashad as Meghan Markle, Iwan Rheon as Prince William, Dan Stevens as Prince Charles, and Sophie Turner as Princess Charlotte.
The Cult of the Real Housewife – 2 January
Series. This special looks at allegations made about The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, Mary Cosby, and the claims that the church she heads is actually a cult.
The Pitt Season 2 – 9 January
Series. The critically acclaimed series returns for its second season, diving even deeper into the relentless, high-pressure world of modern American healthcare.
It follows the frontline heroes of a Pittsburgh hospital as they face life-and-death decisions, systemic challenges, and the emotional toll of caring for a community that relies on them. Grounded, gripping, and unapologetically real, The Pitt pulls back the curtain on the triumphs and heartbreaks defining today’s medical frontline.
Season two stars Noah Wyle, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Australian Shabana Azeez and Sepideh Moafi. The official video companion podcast will be available to watch on HBO Max immediately following each episode, hosted by Hunter Harris (Lemme Say This) and Dr Alok Patel (NOVA Now).
Industry Season 4 – 12 January
Series. The critically acclaimed HBO Original drama series returns for its fourth season. Now at the top of their game and living the lives they once chased as Pierpoint graduates, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are thrust into a high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse chase when a headline-grabbing fintech disruptor hits the London scene.
As Yasmin becomes entangled with its charismatic founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is drawn into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), the pressure of money, power and ambition pushes their complicated friendship into dangerous new territory.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – 19 January
Series. From the world of Westeros comes a new half-hour original drama – an endearing tale that follows the unlikely adventures of an unexpected duo. Set a century before the events of Game of Thrones, the six-episode season follows two improbable heroes roaming Westeros: Ser Duncan the Tall, a brave but untested young knight, and his small but sharp-witted squire, Egg.
In an era when the Targaryens still rule from the Iron Throne and the memory of dragons has yet to fade, great destinies, formidable enemies and perilous exploits await these mismatched yet inseparable companions.
