HBO Max will welcome May with a library refresh that reaches across romance, action, horror, animation, prestige drama and reality television. The schedule starts with a crowded May 1 drop, but new movies, original programs and returning cable favorites continue arriving through the final day of the month.
The most prominent movie in the lineup is “Wuthering Heights.” Emerald Fennell wrote, directed and produced the latest interpretation of Emily Brontë’s enduring novel, Newsweek reports. After opening in theaters in January, the romance earned $241.7 million around the globe and climbed to fifth place among the highest grossing movies of 2026. Its streaming arrival on May 1 gives subscribers a chance to see how Fennell approaches a story driven by desire, resentment and destructive devotion.
May 1 also carries several recognizable recent films. “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” offers an animated superhero adventure, while “Saltburn” adds another provocative Fennell project to the same day. “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Love, Simon,” “Pitch Perfect 3” and “The Florida Project” broaden the selection. Classic cinema receives considerable space as well, with “Enter the Dragon,” “Keeper of the Flame,” “Mary of Scotland” and “The Life of Emile Zola” among the older selections.
