HBO Max is the home to such critically acclaimed shows as The Pitt and The White Lotus, but it's also a haven for excellent movies. This August, the streamer is set to add tons of new content that will lure you away from Netflix and the rest of its competitors. The highlights this month include the action/comedy anthology Freaky Tales starring Pedro Pascal, Peacemaker season 2 with John Cena as the titular DC antihero and Abbott Elementary season 4 with Quinta Brunson.
