What’s coming to HBO Max in October 2025: movies, series, documentaries, and specials

October is here, which means it’s time to review what’s coming to streaming services. This time, let’s see what’s on HBO Max. This month has a few recommendations, but if you are in for some spooks in your life, don’t miss ‘The Substance,’ one of last year’s best movies. Also, for TV series, we have ‘It: Welcome to Derry’ finally debuting this month. Because we all need a little bit of Pennywise in our October scary nights.
