There’s lots to watch on HBO Max in January 2026, but two additions stand head and shoulders above the rest.
The first is highly anticipated “Game of Thrones” spinoff series “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” Premiering January 18th, the series is based on George R. R. Martin’s the “Tales of Dunk and Egg” novellas, which take place prior to the fantasy drama’s timeline.
January 2026 also sees the release of “The Pitt Season 2.” The debut season of HBO’s original medical drama scored 95% on Rotten Tomatoes when it launched in January 2025, and bagged a ton of awards too, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series.
For quality movies, look out for a pair of recent A24 hits. “The Smashing Machine,” a sports biopic starring Dwayne Johnson as iconic MMA pioneer Mark Kerr, lands January 23rd.
Golden-Globe-nominated psychological drama “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” meanwhile, airs January 30th. It contains a rare acting turn by former talk show host Conan O’Brien.
