What's on HBO Max in July

Here's everything that's streaming on HBO Max in July 2026.

Stuart Fails To Save The Universe (July 24)

The ten-episode series debuts Friday, 24 July, only on HBO Max. New episodes will debut subsequent Fridays.

Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don’t go well.

Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story (July 1)

The HBO Original documentary Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story, directed and produced by Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam (Max Original Swiping America) and produced by Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pretty Matches Productions, debuts Wednesday, 1 July, only on HBO Max. 

Before the internet and the ubiquity of social media influencers, there was Robin Byrd – the spirited, anything-goes New York City public access host, clad only in her signature black crochet bikini. From 1977 to 1998, Robin created, produced and hosted the late-night call-in show that incorporated performances and interviews with adult entertainers and experimental artists. Each show ended with a bawdy song and dance, turning her unapologetic, eponymous show into a national platform for sex-positivity and free speech.

Approaching her 70th birthday, Robin confronts her place in history and faces the decision to hand over a lifetime of memorabilia to archivists, while also tenderly caring for Shelly, her husband of 50 years. With a wealth of archival and intimate interviews, the film reflects on Robin’s career and tracks her current life in New York City, as well as Fire Island where she has been a beloved resident for decades.
