Everything coming to Max (formerly HBO Max) in October 2024

5 people stand in a field in Salem's Lot.
Warner Bros.

Spooky season is right around the corner, and the folks at HBO and Max intend to throw a monster mash that will impress the most jaded of every ghoul and goblin out there. But the streamer has more than just tricks and treats to dish out in October.

In addition to finally premiering the long-delayed Stephen King adaption Salem’s Lot, the streamer will debut the original series The Franchise, which takes a comedic look into the making of a big-budget superhero movie. Other notable additions to the programming slate include the A24 drama Tuesday with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the streaming debut of MaXXXine, the final chapter in the X trilogy.

Best new movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max (HBO), and more
Gru points a giant laser in Despicable Me 4.

The calendar has turned to November, and our list of the best movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max (HBO), and other services is decidedly less spooky this week. You can still catch up on plenty of new horror flicks and thrillers, but the majority of this week's new additions are for the whole family.

This week, six new films join the list, including kids movies Despicable Me 4 and Harold and the Purple Crayon, documentaries Martha and Music by John Williams, and much more.
We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.

Everything leaving Hulu in November 2024
Karen Gillan and Aaron Paul and Karen Gillan in Dual.

There's very good news for Hulu fans if you're concerned about the movies and TV shows leaving the streamer in November. For the most part, Hulu isn't losing much content at all in the penultimate month of 2024. That means more bang for your subscriber buck, which is good because prices went up recently. Get used to that yearly trend.

Throughout November, there are a handful of indie movies to check out from Hulu, including Dual, Terminal, and I Kill Giants. I've never seen The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot, which is another one of the exiting titles. If a film is audacious enough to have that name, then the main character better freakin' kill Hitler and then Bigfoot, in that order.

Everything leaving Netflix in November 2024
Alyssa Sutherland in "Evil Dead Rise."

Netflix had a good couple of months where only a few titles of note left the streaming service's library. But in November, it's a full-on purge as TV shows and movies head for the door. Even Key & Peele, which has been on Netflix for years, is losing two seasons from its run. But there's not enough time to catch every episode unless you binge them all tonight.

The rest of the departures are spread throughout the month. These titles include Evil Dead Rise, A Man Called Otto, Sausage Party, Ali, First Man, and Glengarry Glen Ross. Although it's a good bet that the majority of these titles will be on other streamers soon, if you want to get the most out of your Netflix subscription, you should start making your viewing plans now. Our roundup of everything leaving Netflix in November 2024 is below. Our picks for the month are in bold.
