Summary
Lanterns will headline HBO Max’s August lineup with a Season 1 debut on Aug. 16, positioning the DC series as the service’s biggest late-summer release.
The 31-day slate also spotlights Monsters of God on Aug. 6—a six-part docuseries on billion-dollar reptile smuggling—and Bob Odenkirk action film Normal on Aug. 14.
Other notable additions include Conan O’Brien Must Go Season 3 on Aug. 21, Mother Mary the same day, and Abbott Elementary Season 5 on Aug. 22.
The broader August schedule mixes HBO Max originals with library films and unscripted series, as the streamer pushes a heavier end-of-summer content lineup.
