Max (formerly HBO Max) is bringing serious heat this June 2026. From the return of Emmy-winning comedies to the final season of a beloved fantasy series, the streaming platform has something for everyone. Here are the five best TV shows arriving on Max this month that deserve a spot on your watchlist.
The Gilded Age Season 3 Brings Back High Society Drama on June 22
The wait is finally over for fans of period drama. The Gilded Age Season 3 debuts on Sunday, June 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and streaming on Max. The new season consists of eight episodes.
Season 2 left off with Bertha Russell (played by Carrie Coon) promising her daughter Gladysโs hand in marriage to the Duke of Buckingham. The teaser for Season 3 shows Bertha telling Gladys that “marriage is a real opportunity.” Gladys does not look happy about the arrangement. The season will likely explore the fallout from this decision.
The cast also includes Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, and Morgan Spector. The show remains one of HBOโs most popular period pieces since Downton Abbey.

DC fans can look forward to the return of the hit animated series. My Adventures with Superman Season 3 lands on Max on Sunday, June 14. The show comes from Adult Swim and streams on Max the same day.
Season 3 introduces two major villains from DC comics. Cyborg Superman and the young hero Superboy will appear this season. The Man of Steel must deal with these new threats while also handling his complicated emotions. The show has gained a strong following for its fresh take on Supermanโs early years.

Big Girls Wanted: Escaping Pearadise Exposes Dark Truths on June 10
For viewers who enjoy true crime and documentary series, Big Girls Wanted: Escaping Pearadise arrives on Wednesday, June 10. The three-part series drops every episode on the same day as the US.
The documentary investigates a social media-driven community called Pearadise. The group gained attention starting in 2020. It positioned itself as a space for sisterhood and body positivity for plus-size women. The collective was based out of a Las Vegas mansion and grew through a strong digital presence.
As Pearadise became more popular, scrutiny followed. Former participants and observers began raising allegations of misconduct. Claims include harassment, control, and coercive dynamics within the community. The series promises to uncover what really happened behind the closed doors of this online group turned real-world collective.
