HBO Max in June 2026: 24 premieres, including House of the Dragon and Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness

Set roughly two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon follows House Targaryen as the family fractures and turns on itself. Season 3 returned June 21 and pushed the dynasty deeper into civil war, with the bloodline split into rival camps and both sides leaning on their dragons. The show stays built around court politics, contested succession, and the slow cost of a family at war with its own. This run carried forward the conflict the series has been moving toward across its earlier seasons.

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness premiered June 26 as a scripted HBO comedy built around America’s 250th anniversary. The setup framed a national celebration and then handed it over to Larry David, which pointed the whole thing toward complication rather than ceremony. The show’s own description stayed short and played on that contrast: an occasion meant to honor the country, set against David’s instinct for friction. It launched as the network’s comedy entry tied to the milestone year.

This documentary premiered June 1 and tells the story of Hoyt Richards, who at 16 met a Manhattan socialite on a Nantucket beach and was drawn into a spiritual group called Eternal Values. The film tracks what happened next: Richards went on to become one of the first male supermodels of the 1980s while still tied to the group. It sits at the intersection of the fashion world and the pull of a closed community, following one person’s path through both. The account moves between his public modeling career and the private organization shaping his life.

John Oliver’s weekly HBO show kept running through June with new Season 13 episodes. Each one takes a satirical pass at the week in news and politics, usually building toward a longer segment that digs into a single issue in depth. The format pairs a fast topical open with that extended deep dive, and it has held that shape across more than a decade on the air. June’s episodes continued the weekly cadence the show is known for.

Bill Maher’s long-running HBO program continued with new Season 24 episodes in June. The hour opens with a monologue, moves into a roundtable with a panel of guests, and works in interviews with people in the studio and joining remotely. The mix of voices is part of the draw, pulling together guests from across politics, media, and beyond for the week’s discussion. It kept its regular weekly slot through the month.

This documentary series followed the United States Men’s National Soccer Team through the four years leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held across North America this June. Filmed over that full stretch, it tracked Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, Tim Weah, Weston McKennie, and other players through the personal and team-wide work of getting to the tournament. The series ran new episodes during the month as the World Cup itself got underway, pairing the buildup with the event it had been pointing toward.

On the Roam followed Jason Momoa across the country as he met makers and artists and dug into the work they do by hand. Season 2 ran new episodes in June, keeping the show’s loose travel structure: each stop centered on craftsmanship of some kind, with adventure and friendship along the way. The series moved from place to place rather than holding to one setting, built around the people Momoa met and the things they made.

This video podcast series, made by DC and DC Studios, ran new Season 2 episodes in June. It works as a single hub for DC and DC Studios news and conversation, in an unscripted format recorded on camera. The show gathers everything under one banner rather than splitting it across separate outlets, giving the studio a regular place to talk through what it has in the works.

Expedition Unknown returned June 24 for Season 17, with host Josh Gates chasing the truth behind some of the world’s longstanding legends and unsolved stories. Each episode worked through historical records, established facts, and the myths that grew up around them, then took Gates to the places tied to the tale. His investigations ranged across the globe, from digging at ruins in search of figures like the real Robin Hood to taking to the water in pursuit of an answer. The season kept the show’s mix of travel and on-site research.

In the Eye of the Storm came back June 28 for Season 4, built around footage of major weather events caught by the people who lived through them. The show draws on phone video from onlookers who found themselves in the path of disasters like Hurricane Ida and the 2023 Maui wildfires and held up their cameras as it happened. That first-hand material anchors each episode, putting the viewer inside events as they unfolded rather than reconstructing them after the fact.

Deadliest Catch ran new Season 22 episodes in June, following crab fishing crews working off the Alaskan coast on the Bering Sea. The job is among the most dangerous around, and the show puts the crews against Arctic weather, heavy seas, and a tight window to bring in their catch before the season closes. Big money rides on each haul, and the risk runs alongside it. The season kept the show on the water with the boats and the people who run them.

Homestead Rescue continued with new Season 14 episodes in June. The show centers on the Raney family, who travel to struggling off-grid homesteads and teach the families there the skills they need to last. Marty Raney leads, joined by his daughter Misty, a farmer, and his son Matt, a hunter and fisherman. Living off the land has a steep learning curve, and many who try it fail, so each episode works through the practical fixes that keep a homestead going. The season kept that rescue-by-rescue structure.

Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch ran new Season 6 episodes in June. The show is set on Duane Ollinger’s 160-acre property in eastern Utah’s Uintah Basin, a place wrapped in local legend, from Aztec treasure to lost Mormon mines. Ollinger is less interested in the lore than in what is underground: he found a system of seven caves running through the land and stayed focused on what they might hold. The season kept following his dig and the strange ground it runs through.

Expedition Files ran new Season 4 episodes in June, with Josh Gates working back through history in search of fresh evidence on the world’s unexplained mysteries. Each episode takes on a true story that resists easy explanation and looks for new angles and answers, turning up revelations and details along the way. The show sits next to Gates’s other Discovery work but keeps its own focus on cases that defy a clean accounting. The season continued that case-by-case approach.

The Last Woodsmen continued with new Season 3 episodes in June, heading deep into remote wilderness with the loggers who work it. The show follows veteran logger Jared Douglas as he works from a floating barge hundreds of miles from anywhere, going after some of the largest timber in the world. The margin for error is thin, where one wrong move can cost tens of thousands of dollars or a life. The season stayed with that high-risk work far from civilization.

In the Eye of the Storm: Chasers ran new episodes in June in its first season. It follows twelve teams of certified weather spotters and professional storm chasers who shoot their own encounters with tornadoes, working without producers or camera crews. Each team heads into Tornado Alley to spot twisters, warn people in their path, and help when a storm hits. The footage is raw and close, capturing the chase as it happens and the danger that comes with it.

Contraband: Seized at the Border ran new Season 9 episodes in June, set along the busy USA and Mexico crossing. The show follows Customs and Border Protection agents as they do the daily work of guarding the line, watching for drugs, weapons, and other illegal goods coming through. With heavy traffic moving in both directions, each episode tracks the searches and seizures that come out of it. The season stayed on the ground with the agents working the checkpoints.

Naked and Afraid: Global Showdown ran new episodes in June in its first season. It brings together survivalists from Brazil, Australia, Mexico, the United States, and beyond, each representing their home country in a 40-day primitive bushcraft competition. Paired off, the teams put their skills, toughness, and ability to work together to the test. National pride is on the line, along with the largest cash prize in the franchise’s history. The season ran the competition out across that long stretch in the wild.

Love It or List It returned June 23 for Season 21, built on a simple question: when a house stops feeling like home, do the owners renovate or sell. Each hour pits realtor David Visentin against designer Hilary Farr. David lines up listings that might tempt the owners to move, while Hilary tries to show them that, on their budget, she can fix what is wrong with the place they already have. The two compete for the final call, and the homeowners decide whether to love it or list it.

Battle on the Beach came back June 1 for Season 5. Three teams take on identical beachfront properties and race to renovate them, each guided by one of the show’s pros: Ty Pennington, Alison Victoria, and Taniya Nayak. The teams compete to win over the judges with their finished remodels, and the strongest result takes a $50,000 cash prize. With matched houses as the starting point, the season came down to which team got the most out of the same canvas.

Crashers premiered June 8 with home restoration expert Jonathan Knight surprising unsuspecting homeowners with a free renovation. The catch is in the rules: the work starts immediately, the owners get no say in the design, and they have to clear out while it happens. Each project runs on a 72-hour clock. The setup hands full control to Knight and his team and asks the homeowners to trust the result, with the reveal landing after they have been kept out of the process from the start.

Renovation Island: The Adventure Continues premiered June 7, following Bryan and Sarah Baeumler through their work in renovation, design, and running a business. This run took them to the Florida Keys for a large hotel renovation while they kept expanding projects at their resort in the Bahamas. The show splits its attention between the two, tracking the day-to-day of a couple juggling big builds in more than one place. It carried their renovation work forward across both locations.

My Lottery Dream Home ran new Season 19 episodes in June, with David Bromstad taking recent lottery winners house hunting for their next home. The winners range from people who took home hundreds of thousands to those who landed hundreds of millions, and each one steps into the market with money to spend. The recurring question is what they do with it, whether they stretch for an extravagant mansion or put it toward something more modest and sound. The season kept that hunt going winner by winner.

Renovation Aloha ran new Season 3 episodes in June, following married renovators Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama as they turn run-down properties on Oʻahu into family homes. Both were born and raised on the island and take on big renovations in one of the most expensive states in the country. They lean on a large extended family for help, including 87 first cousins, many of them in construction. The season kept the work close to home, with that family network pitching in.

Castle Impossible ran new Season 2 episodes in June. The show follows high school sweethearts Daphne Reckert and Ian Figueira, who set aside plans for a California tiny home after Daphne inherited her late grandfather’s 500-year-old chateau on a 130-acre estate outside Paris. The main floor already brings in money hosting weddings, but the couple took on the much larger job of restoring the rest of the dilapidated property. The season stayed with that restoration, room by room.

Zillow Gone Wild ran new Season 3 episodes in June. Drawn from the Instagram account of the same name, the show goes past standard listings to tour homes that are odd, striking, and out of the ordinary. Each episode walks through three quirky properties on the market and fills in the backstories of their buyers, sellers, and unusual histories. It trades the usual listing scroll for a look inside places that stand out, and the stories behind how they came to be.

Property Brothers: Under Pressure ran new episodes in June in its first season. Drew and Jonathan Scott work with buyers who are wary about committing, helping them make confident calls on the biggest purchase of their lives. The stakes run high on both the money and the emotion, and the brothers walk clients through the highs and lows of buying a home. The season followed that push and pull, with the twins steering hesitant buyers toward a decision.

Tropic Like It’s Hot ran new episodes in June in its first season, taking buyers to some of the most striking tropical spots on the map in search of a love nest. The views are a big part of the pitch, but the show leans just as much on the buyers themselves, who tend to steal the scene. Each episode pairs the house hunt with the setting, moving through paradise as the buyers weigh where to land. The season kept that mix of property and personality.

90 Day: The Last Resort returned June 1 for Season 3, bringing couples who have hit their breaking point to a retreat for one last try at saving their relationships. Working with a team of professionals, they take on trust, sex, jealousy, anger, and intimacy head on.

It put each couple in the same place to face old wounds and decide whether they can move past them.

For years they have met up at national conventions and grown into a chosen family, and that closeness carries into the trip.

Most Extreme Humans premiered June 10, following people around the world who live with some of the rarest physical conditions on record. The series met a man in the Philippines whose hands grew so large he wears wristwatches as rings, the world’s smallest married couple in Brazil, with a combined height under six feet, and a 19-year-old in India living with the ultra-rare condition sometimes called werewolf syndrome. Across these stories, the show looked at what daily life is like when the world was not built for your body.

The show follows the Plath family and their nine fair-haired children, raised under their parents’ own strict rules on a rural property in Georgia.

The season kept tracking the family as the children pushed against those boundaries and the parents held to them.

With the cast in control of the footage, the season traded the usual crew for a more direct view of where their lives have gone.

One Day In My Body ran new episodes in June in its first season. The series hands the camera to people living with some of the rarest medical conditions known, letting them document their own lives up close.

Each case has left skilled doctors short on answers, and the season stayed intimate, told from the inside.

Guy’s Grocery Games returned June 10 for a new season. Four chefs compete inside a grocery store, cooking their way through challenges that mimic real shopping problems. One round might cap their budget, another might pull an ingredient off the shelf mid-cook, another might drop them in at closing time. Each chef has to shop, cook, and plate three dishes from whatever they can grab. In the end the food decides it, as the weaker plates send chefs checking out one by one until a winner is left.

100 Cooks premiered June 7 as a home cook competition built at unusual scale. Host Terry Crews, the actor, TV host, and former pro football player, runs a stadium kitchen arena where 100 of the country’s best home cooks face off in challenges meant to rival a professional kitchen. Cooks are pulled to the floor at random, and a Challenge Mixer sets what they are up against, from fast trivia rounds to timed cooking tests. The premiere set the competition in motion at full size.

Beat Bobby Flay ran new episodes in June. The path to beating Bobby Flay starts with getting to him: three chefs, each with a signature dish they would stake their name on, travel to New York for a shot at a head-to-head cook-off. First they have to outcook one another, and only the chef who survives that opening round goes one-on-one against Flay on his home turf. The format keeps that two-stage build, with the final challenger taking on the chef the show is named for.

Bobby Flay and a set of chef friends coach teams of specialty pitmasters drawn from across the country, mentoring them through an intense barbecue competition.

The season kept the team-versus-team structure with the coaches leading the way.

Chopped Castaways ran new episodes in June in its first season. It strands twelve elite chefs on a remote island where survival skills count as much as cooking.

Gabe Bertaccini, Maneet Chauhan, and Marcus Samuelsson judge across the run. The season pushed the Chopped format out of the studio and into the elements.

Food Network’s Top 10 ran new episodes in June in its first season. The show sets out to cut through the noise around where to eat with definitive rankings of standout dishes across the country.

Led by Emmy-winning journalist Paula Zahn, the show pairs in-depth interviews with original reporting to go past the headlines on mysteries from inside the justice system.

Married hosts Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen bring their shared love of film and food to a Saturday night setup that mixes games, cooking, and big movies.

The result lands somewhere between a behind-the-scenes movie night and a potluck with friends. The season kept that blend going week to week.

Paranormal Caught on Camera ran new Season 11 episodes in June. The show collects strange and unsettling videos from around the world, then puts them in front of a panel of experts who break the footage down.
