Max's Prime Time in April: 3 Most High-Profile Series Returning With New Seasons Next Month
Mark your calendars, movie buffs – each of these projects deserves special attention.
Max is currently one of the main suppliers of high quality TV projects – the third season of The White Lotus, the fourth and final season of The Righteous Gemstones and the first season of the year's most important medical drama, The Pitt, are currently on air.
April will be no less eventful – we have collected three beloved series that will return with new chapters on Max next month.
1. The Last of Us Season 2, 2023-...
Release Date: April 13, 2025
Max faces a tough test in the second season of The Last of Us. When the second chapter of the game was released, a war began among fans: some refused to accept Neil Druckmann's sequel and went on strike online.
The plot of the series will retain all the main points of the original, although Druckmann's co-showrunner Craig Mazin said that in Season 2, the script will diverge more from the game: the events will cover only part of the narrative of The Last of Us: Part II, and viewers will see the end of the saga only in the third season.
The events of the second season will take place five years after the finale of the first one. The main characters – Joel and Ellie – live in a commune in Jackson, the relationship between them is quite tense.
At some point, strangers appear in the community and attract the attention of Ellie and her friend Dina. After a terrible incident, Ellie and Dina go on a big journey through the post-apocalyptic world, ending up in Seattle.
2. Hacks Season 4, 2021-...
Release Date: April 10, 2025
Season 3 of Hacks exceeded viewers' expectations and attracted new fans. At the heart of the show is the dynamic between famed comedian Deborah and young writer Ava.
Deborah is desperate to save her career, while Ava struggles with the harsh realities of show business. United by their love of comedy and thirst for success, they become an indispensable support for each other.
In the third season, Deborah and Ava put past grievances behind them and seem to strengthen their bond. Together, they confront the misogynistic system of Hollywood and strive to achieve Deborah's dream of becoming a late-night host.
But after achieving this goal, the two must make a difficult choice between their careers and their friendship. We will soon see the results of this choice in the fourth season.
3. The Rehearsal Season 2, 2022-...
Release Date: April 20, 2025
The idea of The Rehearsal seems to be easy to explain – comedian Nathan Fielder gives participants the unique opportunity to rehearse important life events, be it a serious conversation with a friend or raising a child.
But from the very first minutes, the series becomes more complex and confusing – the viewer learns that the socially awkward host uses his own method, the concept is overgrown with crazy nuances, and the experiment blurs the line between reality and fiction.
The Rehearsal received a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been renewed for a second season – in the new chapter, Fielder will continue to teach people to live other people's lives and try to become another person in order to look at themselves from the outside.
