What's New on HBO Max in May 2022

Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 novel The Time-Traveler’s Wife was a book that seemed aimed particularly at me. It’s set in Chicago, where I was living when it came out, and I enjoyed following along as the characters rode my busses and ate at my favorite brunch spot. It’s a closed-loop time travel story, which is the best kind (“Whatever happened, happened,” for you lingering Lost fans out there). And it’s a slightly sappy romantic tearjerker, and I am a slightly sappy romantic.

I was jazzed when the 2009 film adaptation was announced, and Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana seemed like really good casting as a couple whose relationship is fated to end from the start (though in a way, aren’t they all?) due to the latter’s uncontrollable, temporal genetic condition that causes him to bounce uncontrollably back and forth across his own timeline. That the movie was disappointing—a Cliff’s Notes version of the book—didn’t mean I didn’t cry at the end.

When does The Time-Traveler’s Wife premiere on HBO Max?

The Time-Traveler’s Wife is getting another chance, and with more room to breathe, as a six-episode HBO series from regular Game of Thrones director David Nutter and a script from Doctor Who’s Steven “Timey-Wimey” Moffat. My initial assessment is that the trailer isn’t “Chicago-y” enough, but the jury is still out until the first episode drops on May 15.

Other highlights from the May streaming schedule: The divisive fourth and almost certainly final film in The Matrix series, The Matrix: Resurrections, returns to HBO Max on May 10 after a few months off; both the haters and the rapturous adherents have had some time to cool off and reassess, so the discourse may proceed. You can also finally see meme machine Dear Evan Hansen (May 6) for yourself while you wait for season two of Hacks (May 12), a very good show starring Jean Smart as an aging comedian trying to stay relevant with the help of a Gen-Z comic.

Here’s everything coming to HBO and HBO Max in May. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.
