Everything new on MAX this February, and titles that are going away

Max announces programming coming to the platform this February, including the debut of the twelfth and final season of HBO Original CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM (2/4). Starring Larry David as an over-the-top version of himself, the iconic Emmy^® and Golden Globe^®-winning comedy series offers a tongue-in-cheek depiction of the writer/producer/comedian’s fictionalized life. The comedy series continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one’s day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events. To keep the narrative spontaneous, the series is shot without a script and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go.

Additionally, “The History of Curb Your Enthusiasm,” a video podcast produced by iHeartPodcasts in conjunction with HBO and hosted by Susie Essman and Jeff Garlin, recaps each episode of the series, featuring guests like Larry David himself, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, Bob Odenkirk, and more. The podcast will be available on Max beginning February 1st.

LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER (2/18) returns for its eleventh season this February. A satirical, insightful, and meticulously researched look at current events in the U.S. and around the globe, the series features Oliver’s hilarious, expertly honed perspective on today’s pressing political, social, and cultural issues, as well as lesser-reported topics that both inform and entertain. Shot in New York, season eleven will continue to feature the show’s weekly topical insights, signature deep dives, and distinctive comedy pieces.

Celebrity chef and best-selling author Carla Hall takes viewers on a global adventure to explore the unexpected roots of popular dishes within today’s American food culture on the Max Original series CHASING FLAVOR (2/1). Follow along as Carla’s curiosity about America’s most delicious dishes from chicken pot pie to ice cream leads her to Ghana, Italy, Turkey, and more. Along the way, Carla traces the history and lineage of dishes, discovering the interconnected, international origins and cultures that paved the way for today’s American cuisine – because if you don’t know the history, then you don’t know the dish. Join Carla as she chases flavor across the globe to find out how it all comes together on the American plate.

 

Loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, season two of Max Original TOKYO VICE (2/8), filmed on location in Tokyo, takes us deeper into the city’s criminal underworld as Adelstein (Ansel Elgort) comes to realize that his life, and the lives of those close to him, are in terrible danger. Created and written by Tony Award^® winner J.T. Rogers, the critically acclaimed original drama series stars Golden Globe^® nominee Ansel Elgort, Academy Award^® nominee Ken Watanabe, Academy Award^® nominee Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller, Show Kasamatsu, Ayumi Ito, and new series regulars Yosuke Kubozuka and Miki Maya.

A modern refresh of the hit series of the same name, season two of CLONE HIGH (2/1) follows a high school for clones of the greatest minds in history. Twenty years after the original experiment was put on ice, Joan, JFK, Abe, and Cleo have been thawed out to resume school with their new clone classmates – all while navigating a new set of cultural norms and overly dramatic teen relationships

In DICKS: THE MUSICAL (2/2), two self-obsessed businessmen (writers Aaron Jackson & Josh Sharp) discover they’re long-lost identical twins and come together to plot the reunion of their eccentric divorced parents, in this riotously funny and depraved musical from comedy icon Larry Charles (Seinfeld, Borat) also starring Megan Thee Stallion, Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, and Bowen Yang as God.
