HBO Max announces everything coming to the platform this October including the return of the Emmy®-winning series THE WHITE LOTUS (10/30). The second installment is set at an exclusive Sicilian resort and follows the exploits of various guests and employees over the span of a week.
The month also brings season three of PENNYWORTH: THE ORIGIN OF BATMAN’S BUTLER (10/6), which follows Alfred Pennyworth, a former British SAS soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha, before they become Bruce Wayne’s parents. BATMAN: THE AUDIO ADVENTURES (10/7), the Webby Award-Winning original scripted podcast, will also return for a second season.
FIXER UPPER: THE CASTLE (10/14), the highly-anticipated new project from Chip and Joanna Gaines, will debut concurrently on Magnolia Network, HBO Max and discovery+. Chip and Joanna take on their biggest fixer yet: the famous castle in Waco, Texas. As they breathe new life into the historic landmark, they must also tackle its challenging infrastructure while preserving its original beauty.
THE VOW, PART TWO (10/17) returns with a rare view into Keith Raniere’s innermost circle, including NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman. It follows the legal and emotional journeys of the group’s founders, supporters, and defectors as new evidence and stunning revelations come to light, while federal prosecutors and defense attorneys engage in a trial in the national spotlight.
WAHL STREET (10/6), returns for a second season and Mark Wahlberg’s life as he juggles the demands of a rigorous film schedule and hustles to expand his blossoming business empire –including gym studio F45, clothing line Municipal, production company Unrealistic Ideas, and, of course, Wahlburgers. Facing numerous difficult decisions amid the global pandemic, Mark is driven to make movies better, people healthier, burgers tastier, and clothes trendier – all while prioritizing his most important roles as husband and father. WAHL STREET offers up Mark’s powerful business insights and life lessons, while showcasing the cast of colorful characters that make up his real-life entourage.
AVENUE 5 (10/10), returns for a second season and is set forty years in the future when traveling the solar system is no longer the stuff of sci-fi fantasy, but a booming, multibillion-dollar business.
YVONNE ORJI: A WHOLE ME. (10/1) showcases Orji’s range and vulnerability, while also serving as a no-holds-barred therapy session for both the artist and the audience in a beautiful mix of heart, humor and healing.

GARCIA! (10/28) follows Antonia, a young reporter who quickly becomes embroiled in an elaborate political conspiracy after accidentally defrosting a cryogenically frozen secret agent from the 1960s. Finding himself thrust into a fractured modern world, Garcia, a former pawn in fascist dictator Francisco Franco’s regime, must rely on Antonia’s help to fit in – and decide where his loyalties lie amid a conspiracy to upend the Spanish government. Thrilling and fast-paced, GARCIA! spans six decades in Spain’s tumultuous political history, seamlessly blending satire and suspense for a genre-bending adventure of epic proportions.
BATWHEELS (10/18), DC’s first-ever Batman preschool series rolls onto Cartoonito on HBO Max with a high-speed, vibrant CGI-animated iteration of the Caped Crusader. Produced by Warner Bros.
