Club Benefits
June is nearly here, bringing both summer (finally!) and a fresh wave of new movies and TV shows to the best streaming services. If you're an HBO Max subscriber, you're in luck because the platform has another stacked month of titles lined up.
To celebrate Pride Month, the streamer is launching an LGBTQ+ Collection Page highlighting stories that celebrate the community. One standout title is "Pillion," an unconventional, saucy-and-sweet love story starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling. Elsewhere on the film front, look out for the groovy premiere of "Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs. That's the Weight of the World)," a new music documentary directed and produced by hip-hop legend Questlove.
TV fans will have plenty of enticing options, too, led by the much-anticipated season 3 return of "House of the Dragon." Scroll on for more info about our top HBO Max watches for June 2026, plus a complete rundown of everything heading to the platform this month.
New on HBO Max in June 2026: Top Picks
'Pillion'
You might be surprised to hear that a BDSM biker movie is one of the most romantic movies of the last year, but writer-director Harry Lighton achieves just that with "Pillion," which stars Harry Melling as Colin, a shy, introverted gay man living with his parents (Douglas Hodge and Lesley Sharp) in London who has an unexpected pub encounter with a Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), a handsome and enigmatic member of a local biker club.
Soon thereafter, the odd-couple pair begins engaging in an intense dominant-and-submissive relationship, with Colin obeying Ray's every whim and getting pulled deeper into his dom's fetish biker lifestyle and his social sphere. There's a whole lot of vulnerability and sweetness beneath those leather collars, however. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, where the A24 drama has a near-perfect 99% approval rating, critics praised the "dom-rom" as "a remarkable directorial debut by Harry Lighton ... that soars thanks to its nonjudgmental perspective and knockout performances."
Stream "Pillion" on HBO Max on June 5
'Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs. That's the Weight of the World'
In his new HBO original documentary, "Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs. That's the Weight of the World," director Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson tells the story of the legendary, nine-time Grammy-winning soul-funk band Earth, Wind & Fire, "tracing their genesis through late founding member Maurice White, chronicling their evolution, highs and lows, and relevance from the 1970s into the present day while exploring the deep philosophical and spiritual meaning behind their message and music," per the film's official synopsis.
Premiering on HBO Max on June 7, the two-hour doc features exclusive interviews with surviving band members Verdine White, Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson, as well as fellow musicians (Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, H.E.R.) and prominent celebrity fans, including former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

'House of the Dragon' season 3
"House of the Dragon," the fiery prequel drama set 200 years before the events of HBO juggernaut "Game of Thrones," will come roaring back for its third installment on Sunday, June 21.
Last time we caught up with Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), Daemon (Matt Smith), Alicent (Olivia Cooke), Otto (Rhys Ifans), Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) and the rest of the Westeros crew, Alicent had made the desperate decision to secretly travel to Dragonstone and surrender the Iron Throne to Rhaenyra to avoid yet more bloodshed.
However, as that trailer teases, that doesn't stop the powers that be from embarking on a full-scale war, with the Blacks and the Greens heading toward an inevitable battle that is sure to spell death, destruction and drama in the episodes ahead.
Stream "House of the Dragon" season 3 on HBO Max from June 21
