From Tom's Guide
A new month is upon us, which means movies and shows that are new on Max in February 2025. But not just any movies and shows — "The White Lotus" is back this month.
It's a surprisingly quiet month for Max in terms of major releases but that may be intentional. "The White Lotus" has been one of the biggest shows on HBO since season 1 dropped in the summer of 2021. This season a new cast of characters is headed to the White Lotus resort in Thailand and there's a whole new mystery to wrap our heads around.
Of course, that's not all that is coming to Max this month. On the movies side, A24's "We Live in Time" is dropping on the streaming service on February 7 and fans of a good romance movie won't want to miss it.
'The White Lotus' Season 3 (Feb. 16)
I am beyond excited for "The White Lotus" season 3. The first two seasons were both gripping murder mysteries and there's no reason to suspect that the model won't work a third time. Stick a bunch of talented actors on a remote resort, show us that someone has been murdered and then keep us guessing who all the way to the end.
This time, we're headed to Thailand with some of my favorite actors. Top of the list is, of course, Walton Goggins of "Justified" and "Fallout," who plays a stressed-out rich guy with a young companion who leaves him no less stressed out. Then there's Jason Isaacs, another one of my favorites, who in the season 3 trailer is rocking a surprising American accent as he yells about being broke and ... going to prison? He also bumps into Goggins in the trailer, possibly setting off a conflict with deadly consequences.
Season 3 premieres Sunday, Feb. 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max
'We Live in Time' (Feb. 7)
"We Live in Time" stars Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield as Almut and Tobias. Almut is a talented chef who is thrust into breakfast cereal rep Tobias' life when she hits him with her car. Told in a non-linear fashion, the movie follows their relationship through its ups and downs, and there's plenty of both.
The romantic comedy-drama has garnered largely positive buzz from people who saw it in theaters, with most critics praising Pugh and Garfield's performances and their on-screen chemistry. Now, it's finally coming to Max as part of A24's deal with the streaming service, so if you missed it in theaters be sure to watch it now.
Stream it on Max starting Feb. 7
'Puppy Bowl XXI' (Feb. 9)
Super Bowl 2025 may be the biggest sporting event of February, but it's not the only must-watch sporting event on Sunday, Feb. 9. That's because the Puppy Bowl is back for its 21st iteration and this year you can stream it live on Max. Even better, the event starts at 2 p.m. ET, well before the Super Bowl's 6:30 p.m. kickoff, so you don't have to choose between adorable puppies and watching all the Super Bowl commercials.
Watch it live on Max on Feb. 9 at 2 p.m ET
