What’s Coming to HBO Max in January 2023, Including ‘Velma,’ U.S. National Team Soccer, ‘In with the Old’

Coming to HBO Max in January is “Velma,” the adult animated comedy series that reveals the back story of Velma Dinkley (voiced by Mindy Kaling), the brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang. A brilliant solver of mysteries, the series, which arrives on the streamer on Jan. 12 offers a bloody mystery all its own.

Also on the platform in January will be HBO Max’s first-ever live sporting events as it hosts three United States national soccer team games. First, on Jan. 17 and 20, the women’s national team will face New Zealand in a pair of matches. Then on Jan. 25, the men’s team will face Serbia.

Designers, buildings, and lovers of old homes welcome Season 3 of “In With the Old” on Jan. 11. In towns and cities across the country, abandoned structures are given a new purpose while preserving their historical importance.

“The Artist,” an Oscar-winning 2011 French comedy-drama, shot in the style of a silent movie streams on HBO Max on Jan. 1. It’s the 1920s, matinee idol George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) falls for an ingenue (Bérénice Bejo), but hesitates to court her. As his star begins to fade, hers rises.

Also, the film epic “Lawrence of Arabia,” about the exploits of T.E. Lawrence hits HBO on Jan. 1. The cinematic gem stars Peter O’Toole and is directed by David Lean. Lawrence is sent to Arabia in WWI as a liaison between various Bedouin tribes and the British, who are fighting against the Turks.
