HBO Max is set for an exciting July 2025 with a strong lineup of new films, original series, and live sports events. Leading the arrivals is the highly anticipated Sinners (2025), a unique blend of historical drama and horror from acclaimed filmmaker Ryan Coogler.
Top New Releases
Sinners debuts on July 4 and has already become the highest-grossing original movie of the decade. The film combines vampire lore with racial politics set in the 1930s Mississippi Delta.
It stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as the Smoke Stack twins, alongside Miles Caton as “Preacher Boy,” a gifted blues musician whose music unintentionally summons vampires. The supporting cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Wunmi Mosaku, and Jack O’Connell.
Other notable films arriving in July include two recent releases from indie distributor A24:

July also brings new HBO originals like:
