The return of Game of Thrones finally happens in August on HBO Max with the premiere of House of the Dragon. The prequel series, set about 200 years before the events of the main show, chronicles a civil war within the House Targaryen and stars Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Olivia Cooke.
That‘s certainly the biggest title coming to HBO Max in August, but it’s far from the only one. We’ll also get new seasons of House of Ho and Sweet Life: Los Angeles, and a new season of Hard Knocks focused on the Detroit Lions. Plus, you’ll get your chance to watch extended editions of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Possession, and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. Yes, the full and extended version of the Garfield sequel will finally be available to stream. Finally, we don’t need to watch that neutered Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties cut anymore.
