Every Movie and TV Show Leaving HBO Max This Week, Including Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler’s Hit Comedy

Streaming platform Max routinely refreshes its content library, resulting in the removal of various feature films and television series each week. Subscribers seeking to finish ongoing series or watch specific films must do so before licensing terms conclude. This week marks the exit of a high-stakes comedy, a psychological crime drama, and a post-apocalyptic action thriller. Viewers should take note of the upcoming departure dates to catch these titles before they leave the platform.

‘The House’ (2017)

Directed by Andrew Jay Cohen, ‘The House’ follows a married couple who inadvertently lose their daughter’s entire college tuition fund. To recover the financial loss, the desperate parents partner with an eccentric neighbor to operate an illegal underground casino in a suburban basement. The comedy stars Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler as the suburbanites who quickly find themselves entangled with local authorities and criminal elements. The feature is scheduled to depart from Max on August 16, 2026.

‘Prodigal Son’ (2019–2021)

‘Prodigal Son’ centers on Malcolm Bright, a gifted criminal psychologist who uses his unique insight to help the New York City Police Department solve complex homicides. Malcolm’s profound understanding of aberrant criminal behavior stems from his father, Dr. Martin Whitly, an infamous incarcerated serial killer known as “The Surgeon.” The drama series stars Tom Payne alongside Michael Sheen and explores their dark, dysfunctional family dynamic across two seasons. Viewers have until August 18, 2026, to stream the series before it exits the platform.

‘Elevation’ (2024)

Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape overrun by deadly predatory creatures, ‘Elevation’ depicts humanity surviving strictly in the Rocky Mountains above an altitude of 8,000 feet. The science fiction survival thriller follows a single father who must venture down into the dangerous lowlands alongside two women to save the life of a sick child. Directed by George Nolfi, the film features leading performances by Anthony Mackie, Morena Baccarin, and Maddie Hasson. Max subscribers can watch the feature until its departure on August 20, 2026.
