Nothing unites us like an HBO series, streaming or otherwise. I don't even remember what The Undoing was about, but I know I had a billion theories and it crashed my app on the day of the finale. And then there was Game of Thrones, the one show you definitely couldn't escape from even when you were starting to hate it. They're doing something right at the Home Box Office because it feels like every show is a moment.
Wanna know what's going to be trending every Sunday and Monday on HBO? Or, just between us, do you wanna know when you do and do not need to be paying for that subscription? Here are the best and most anticipated shows coming to HBO and HBO Max in 2022.
