May marks the return of the award-winning series Hacks on HBO Max, with Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder continuing their respective roles as a legendary standup comic and her young and conflicted protege. The show returns on May 12.
In addition there’s a new documentary on George Carlin from director Judd Apatow, a fictional series of The Staircase, based on the same true story that inspired the popular documentary series, and a new show based on The Time Traveler’s Wife. There’s also the premiere of the film of Dear Evan Hansen, and the return of the underrated The Matrix Resurrections.
