As the pandemic stretches into fall, we have to face facts; We’re going to run out of TV and, Tenet’s tentative release notwithstanding, the only reason there will be tentpole movies in 2021 is because most 2020 film premieres have been canceled. Filming is delayed on new seasons of your favorite shows and film production still hasn’t ramped back up. So what’s to be done to fill our eyeballs with content and keep us paying $15 per month to our favorite streaming services?

Well, this month HBO Max is giving us a new movie conceived of, written and filmed in quarantine (so much for TV offering us an escape). On Sept. 12, the service will premiere Coastal Elites, written by New York playwright Paul Rudnick (Jeffrey) and directed by Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Game Change). With a cast including Bette Midler, Sarah Paulson and Issa Rae, it follows five people living in NYC and Los Angeles as they try to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their comfortable lives.

Are we ready yet for a satire exploring the absurdities of daily existence in the cursed year of 2020? I guess we’ll find out. (The horror take on the concept seems more on point to me, but whatever.)

Otherwise, you’ll have to make do with meager cinematic offerings from earlier in the year—including the #MeToo era take on The Invisible Man, starring Elisabeth Moss (Sept. 19)—as well as Raised By Wolves, a new post-apocalyptic sci-fi series from director Ridley Scott (Sept. 3).

Check out the full list of what’s coming to and leaving the HBO streaming services below. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO Max and regular HBO; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.
