What New Shows and Movies Coming on HBO Max in May 2022

Just to add to the creepiness, Colin Firth will be faking an American accent for a fictional TV adaptation of an exceptionally unsettling actual crime story.

In the Staircase,  Michael Peterson, Firth is accused of murdering his wife after saying she fell down in their home and died of her injuries. The miniseries will premiere on HBO Max on May 5, as part of a slew of new offerings.

On the other hand, Hacks, one of the greatest (and funniest) new shows of last year, returns on May 12 for its second season, while The Time Traveler’s Wife, an adaptation of the 2003 romantic comedy novel, premieres on May 15 for its second season. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is also coming on HBO Max on 29th May 2022.

Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known, which doubles as a concert film in commemoration of the rock musical’s 15th anniversary, and George Carlin’s American Dream, which is co-directed by Judd Apatow, both premiere in May.

Also The Matrix: Resurrections is also coming back on HBO Max in May.
