Max has exciting programming in store for December, featuring the debut of the HBO Original comedy special LEO REICH: LITERALLY WHO CARES?! on December 16. The show, a blend of stand-up and performance art, explores important questions about our collective future, humorously addressing social and political causes. Taped at EartH in London, this A24 production promises an entertaining experience.

Following on December 21 is the Max Original comedy special GARY GULMAN: BORN ON 3RD BASE. Comedian and actor Gary Gulman shares hilarious insights on various topics, including his upbringing, eccentric family, and reflections on societal issues. Known for his inventive humor and absurdism, Gulman offers a thoughtful and empathetic perspective on lighthearted and serious subjects.

On December 4, Max introduces the HBO Original three-part documentary series MURDER IN BOSTON: ROOTS, RAMPAGE & RECKONING, produced and directed by Jason Hehir. Exploring racial tensions and a controversial investigation in 1989 Boston, the series delves into the impact on families, race relations, and justice.

The Max Original documentary OPRAH AND THE COLOR PURPLE JOURNEY will be released on December 28th, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the upcoming film “The Color Purple.” Oprah Winfrey walks viewers through the four-decade phenomenon, discussing the novel, films, and musicals, as well as the cultural impact of this seminal work.

On December 30, Max will present TIME BOMB Y2K, a documentary crafted from archival footage, as the year comes to a close. It returns to the Y2K bug, a comically simple yet complex issue that threatened global chaos. The film examines the collaborative efforts and mass hysteria surrounding the millennial milestone, reflecting on technology’s power and vulnerabilities.

On December 21, the season finales of the Max Original series BOOKIE, JULIA, and RAP SH!T will air. In addition, the season two finales of the HBO Original drama series THE GILDED AGE and 30 COINS will air on December 17 and 11, respectively.
