A key highlight in the trailer is Euphoria, which finally shows new footage from the third season. Zendaya returns as Rue Bennett and is seen in an intense scene kneeling in a church pew, praying and saying there is no way back.
House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms also get a prominent spot, further highlighting HBO's Game of Thrones universe. Additionally, new clips are shown from Lanterns, the highly anticipated DC series that promises a serious and mature tone.
Besides these major titles, the trailer also gives a glimpse of other well-known and new series. There is new footage from Industry, where Myha’la Herrold as Harper Stern shows her ruthless side once again during a confrontation on the trading floor in season four.
The Comeback also returns for a third season, while Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is introduced as a sharper, more mature spin-off within The Big Bang Theory universe.
Furthermore, attention is given to Rooster, a new comedy series from Bill Lawrence starring Steve Carell, and an as-yet-untitled project from Larry David, marking his return to HBO.
The trailer also includes brief clips from season two of The Pitt, which will premiere in January on HBO Max. Comedy legend Mel Brooks appears in footage from his two-part documentary 99 Year Old Man, where he reflects on his long career with his signature humor. Larry David also appears onscreen, expressing his confidence in his new sketch comedy series.
The release of this promotional video marks an important moment for the streamer, which returns to the name HBO Max and once again emphasizes its roots as a producer of high-quality, groundbreaking television.
In a statement, the platform highlights its ambition to bring stories worldwide that not only entertain but also spark conversations. Simultaneously, this trailer comes during a turbulent time for parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, which is the subject of a complex and potentially prolonged acquisition battle involving Netflix and Paramount Skydance, among others.
