New on HBO Max in July 2026: All the new shows and movies to watch this month

HBO Max’s July 2026 slate leans heavily into new series and film premieres, including projects tied to major names and recognizable franchises. The article says HBO’s four-part documentary series The Man Will Burn will follow the evolution of Burning Man over more than 30 years, with new episodes released weekly on Thursdays starting July 9. It also notes The Long Walk, a Stephen King adaptation, streaming from July 10, described as a dark thriller based on his 1979 novel under the Richard Bachman pseudonym. That film is set around a televised endurance contest in a militarized U.S., featuring 50 teenage boys who must keep moving at least three miles per hour or face escalating consequences. In addition, the article mentions Marc by Sofia, a documentary directed by Sofia Coppola about fashion designer Marc Jacobs, as part of the month’s arrivals. Other items referenced include a Zendaya-led film and a new Big Bang Theory spin-off centered on Stuart.
