I’m here today to tell you about all the new stuff coming to HBO Max in February 2023, but I’m not super enthused about it, to be frank. The list below is fine—on Feb. 7 alone, the streamer adds two Oscar-nominated films in All That Breathes and Empire of Light, and there’s a new Harley Quinn Valentine’s Day special dropping two days later. But as I was assembling this post, word got out that Warner Bros. Discovery has canceled HBO Max Originals Doom Patrol and Titans, both more interesting than anything you’ll find on the streamer next month.
Given the recent spat of cancellations at the once best-in-class streamer, not to mention recent plans to revamp the DC cinematic universe, it’s hardly surprising, but it’s still a bummer, especially given the next most exciting thing on the content slate for the next four weeks is the streaming premiere of Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm, a feature-length revival of Aqua Teen Hunger Force that probably cost about $8 to animate. Though, actually, the Mooninites are in it, so maybe everything is fine after all.
