What’s New on HBO Max in December

A slate of recent films, new television and library classics are headed to HBO Max this December.

Fans of the behind-the-scenes football series “Hard Knocks” have a new season to look forward to with “Hard Knocks: In Season With the NFC East,” this time following the Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders, starting Dec. 2. “Saturday Night Live” fanatics may be interested in a new gross-out stand-up special by Sarah Sherman (or Sarah Squirm, as she calls herself on the stage) titled “Sarah Squirm: Live + In the Flesh” on Dec. 12.

A series of music documentaries under the “Music Box” banner of HBO Original programming will also join the service in December. The first of these will be “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley,” Amy Berg’s doc that received strong reviews out of Sundance Film Festival. “It’s Never Over” will premiere on HBO Max on Dec. 4, with a new Music Box entry every week after that: “Wizkid: Long Live Lagos” on Dec. 11, “Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately?” on Dec. 18 and “Happy and You Know It” on Dec. 25.

The highest-grossing movie of the year, “Ne Zha II,” will premiere on HBO Max on Dec. 20. Jiao Zi’s animated sequel from China eventually surpassed “Inside Out 2” to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time. A24 picked up the rights to distribute the English dub featuring Michelle Yeoh (which will be uploaded to HBO Max), originally releasing it in August.
