‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ (2025–)

This new series acts as a backstory to the ‘It’ movies, delving into the sinister history of Derry and the origins of Pennywise.

‘Dangerously Obese’ (2025–)

This reality show documents the journeys of patients struggling with severe obesity as they undergo doctor-supervised weight loss programs.

‘Expedition X’ (2020– )

This paranormal adventure show, part of the ‘Expedition Unknown’ world, follows Phil Torres and Jessica Chobot as they explore mysterious events worldwide. Each episode combines nighttime investigations at haunted locations, interviews with people who know the local stories, and scientific analysis to determine if the claims of everything from strange creatures to ghosts are true. The show is made like a documentary but with a strong focus on investigation, and features the same team working on it each season. Recent episodes are now available on Max.

‘Teen Titans Go!’ (2013– )

This funny, fast-moving animated series shows what Robin, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy do when they’re not saving the world. Each episode is about 11 minutes long and packed with jokes. The voice actors include Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Tara Strong, Khary Payton, and Greg Cipes. The show is known for its clever humor and references to DC Comics lore, and it often includes special guest appearances. You can now watch the latest episodes on Max.

‘Haha, You Clowns’ (2025– )

Okay, so I just started watching this new show on Max, and it’s really good. It’s about a dad who lost his wife and is trying to raise his three teenage sons. It’s not super heavy, though – it’s a really nice blend of funny and heartfelt moments. Each son is going through his own stuff as he grows up, and the show really focuses on those everyday family moments – the little victories and struggles. It’s just a really warm, relatable show about family life, and the newest episodes just dropped.

‘Who Saw the Peacock Dance in the Jungle?’ (2025)

Based on the manga by Rito Asami, this Japanese series centers on Komugi, who begins investigating a complex plot after her former police officer father is murdered on Christmas Eve. Starring Suzu Hirose, Kenichi Matsuyama, and Win Morisaki, the 10-episode show recently aired in Japan and is now available on Max. Each episode unfolds like a chapter in a larger investigation, ultimately revealing secrets within the media world.

‘Vivant’ (2023)

This 10-episode thriller from TBS follows Yūsuke Nogi, an ordinary office worker who stumbles into a dangerous international conspiracy after discovering a strange financial irregularity.
