HBO Max is loading up June 2026 with one of its biggest programming slates of the year, highlighted by the highly anticipated return of House of the Dragon, a brand-new comedy series from Larry David, several high-profile HBO documentaries, and a trio of upcoming A24 film debuts.
The month will showcase a mix of fantasy drama, comedy, music documentaries, social commentary, and original films, giving subscribers plenty of reasons to stay locked into the streaming platform throughout June.
‘House Of The Dragon’ Season 3 Arrives In June
The biggest premiere of the month is undoubtedly House of the Dragon Season 3, which debuts June 21 on HBO Max. The eight-episode HBO Original drama series continues the story of House Targaryen, set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood, the new season brings back returning cast members Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, and Ewan Mitchell, alongside several additional returning characters as the civil war within the Targaryen dynasty intensifies.
Ryan Condal returns as co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer, with George R.R. Martin also serving as executive producer.
HBO also confirmed that House of the Dragon will once again feature an American Sign Language streaming option. Season 3 will launch with ASL support on premiere day, while previous seasons will receive ASL streaming options beginning May 29 and June 15 respectively.
The official companion podcast for the series is also returning and will now stream in video format for the first time.
Larry David Returns With New HBO Comedy Series
Debuting June 26, Life, Larry And The Pursuit Of Unhappiness marks Larry David’s newest HBO Original comedy series following the conclusion of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The seven-episode series comes with a comedic premise centered around America’s 250th anniversary celebration. According to HBO’s official synopsis, former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama intended to honor the nation’s milestone celebration before Larry David became involved.
The series reunites David with longtime collaborator Jeff Schaffer, who co-created the project and serves as director. Both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama executive produce through Higher Ground Productions.
The series will also feature select Curb Your Enthusiasm cast members alongside several guest stars.
