In Summary:

The month includes the debut of HBO's The Man Will Burn, the Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, Sofia Coppola's documentary Marc by Sofia, and the new comedy series Stuart Fails to Save the Universe. Returning Discovery content, blockbuster films, and Shark Week programming round out the month's additions.
*****
Although July is one of the lighter months on the streaming calendar, HBO/Max still has several high-profile premieres that should keep subscribers busy throughout the month.
Leading the lineup is The Long Walk, the long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King's first novel, arriving July 10. Horror fans will also find Lee Cronin's The Mummy, while movie lovers can stream the Zendaya and Robert Pattinson drama The Drama beginning July 31.

Television highlights include The Man Will Burn, a four-part HBO documentary exploring the evolution of the Burning Man festival, premiering July 9. Later in the month, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the newest comedy set in The Big Bang Theory universe, debuts July 23, with comic book store owner Stuart Bloom accidentally triggering a multiverse disaster.
The service also adds Sofia Coppola's documentary Marc by Sofia, chronicling fashion designer Marc Jacobs, on July 16. Discovery programming remains a major part of the schedule with new seasons from HGTV, Food Network, TLC, and Investigation Discovery, while annual Shark Week programming returns later in the month.
While the overall release slate is smaller than in previous months, HBO Max continues to emphasize premium originals, recent theatrical releases, and documentary programming, giving subscribers several noteworthy additions despite a relatively quiet midsummer schedule.
