What’s Coming to HBO Max In May: ‘White House Plumbers,’ ‘Angel City,’ Spy/Master’

HBO Max will officially be replaced by Warner Bros. Discovery on May 23 with a new and improved service called Max. However, that doesn’t mean the service is scrimping on content until then. One of the biggest new releases of the month is the new limited series “White House Plumbers,” which will premiere on May 1. Starring Woody Harrelson as E. Howard Hunt and Justin Theroux as G. Gordon Liddy, the pair portray two real-life Watergate burglars and Nixon saboteurs who ended up destroying the very president they desperately wanted to serve.

Check out the “White House Plumbers” trailer:

The platform will head to the pitch on May 16 with a three-part soccer docuseries “Angel City.” The series goes behind the scenes with the groundbreaking Los Angeles-based professional women’s soccer team, Angel City Football Club. It reveals the origin story through the 2022 inaugural season of the female-founded and led team — including owners and investors Uzo Aduba, Christina Aguilera, Sophia Bush, Jessica Chastain, Glennon Doyle, America Ferrera, Mia Hamm, Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria, Candace Parker, Natalie Portman, Gabrielle Union and Serena Williams. The series reveals the passion and grit needed to build a franchise from scratch and blaze a bold trail in the world of professional sports.

Also in May, the streamer will go international with the six-part espionage series “Spy/Master.” Telling its story in Romanian, English and German, the series is set during the height of the Cold War and covers a week in the life of Victor Godeanu (played by Adina Secăreanu) the right-hand man and closest advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. However, Godeanu is also a secret agent for the KGB and must escape Romania and Ceaușescu before his cover is blown. With only one shot at staying alive, he uses a diplomatic trip to Germany as a springboard to defect to the United States. The political thriller is set to premiere on May 19.

Take a look at “Spy/Master”:

“Unicorn: Warriors Eternal,” a new animated series from Genndy Tartakovsky follows heroes fighting an evil force throughout eternity. The catch? The heroes reawaken in unsuspecting host bodies, but must find a way to protect the world from impending doom. Tartakovsky is known for “Dexter’s Laboratory,” “Samurai Jack,” and “Star Wars: Clone Wars.”
