New on HBO and Max in September 2023: Top picks
Interview with the Vampire Season 1
Based on Anne Rice's chilling 1976 novel, this TV adaptation from AMC delves into the complex life of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), as he spills his dark secrets to reporter Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Once a wealthy black man in 1910s New Orleans, Louis is transformed into a vampire by the enigmatic Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). But immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when young vampire Claudia (Bailey Bass and Delainey Hayles) enters the picture, adding another layer of tension to Louis and Lestat's already complicated bond.
Premieres Sept. 1 on Max
The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart
The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart wraps up the long-running Adult Swim animated series with a bang, bringing Dr. Thaddeus Venture (James Urbaniak), Brock Samson (Patrick Warburton), and Hank (Chris McCulloch) and Dean Venture's (Michael Sinterniklaas) journeys to a supposed end. After Hank disappears, chaos unfolds involving a new villainous organization, ARCH, that draws in Dr. Mrs. The Monarch (Doc Hammer) and even risks sending VenTech Tower into orbit. There are plenty of betrayals and revelations —including The Monarch (Chris McCulloch) being Dr. Venture's clone — as the series comes to a thrilling end. For now.
Premieres Sept. 2 on Max
FLCL: Grunge
The fourth season in the FLCL saga, FLCL: Grunge is also the sequel to 2018's FLCL Alternative. It follows a close-knit friend group of three teenagers, who recently graduated. As they enter the workforce, they grapple with becoming adults, all the while dealing with the machinations of a strange woman named Haruko Haruhara (Kari Wahlgren). Unlike the previous seasons, Grunge will be the first in the entire FLCL universe to be animated solely using neon, frenetic CGI.
Premieres Sept. 10 on Max
Donyale Luna: Supermodel
Donyale Luna: Supermodel is HBO's eye-opening documentary about fashion's forgotten pioneer: the industry's first Black supermodel. Though most of the world is already familiar with names like Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell Donyale Luna -- who graced Vogue and Harper's Bazaar covers first -- often gets overlooked. This film aims to change that, giving Luna the spotlight she's long deserved in what looks to be an exciting snapshot of her career over the years and what led to her overall successes.
Premieres Sept. 13 on Max
Starstruck season 3
Picking up two years after the breakup between Jessie (Rose Matafeo) and superstar Tom (Nikesh Patel), Starstruck season 4 finds everyone's lives in flux. While Tom continues to soar in his career under the watchful eye of his formidable manager (Minnie Driver), Jessie tries to move on by dating outside the celebrity sphere—though she can't fully shake off her lingering feelings for Tom. As her friends advance in their own lives, Jessie faces the challenge of figuring out her own path.
