Shows & Movies to Look Out For
The Nanny
The beloved show from the ‘90s, The Nanny, is finally coming to streaming!

Fans can rewatch the series when it becomes available on HBO Max, Thursday, April 1st.
Mortal Kombat
Last December, a (somewhat controversial) deal between Warner Bros. and HBO Max was announced. Because of so many movie theatre closures due to Covid-19, Warner Bros. will be releasing their upcoming 2021 film slate exclusively to HBO Max at no extra cost to subscribers. This month, Mortal Kombat will be released to HBO Max on the same day as its theatrical release, Friday, April 16th. Mortal Kombat is an action packed epic fantasy you don’t want to miss!
Dreamgirls
The Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning musical Dreamgirls has an HBO and HBO Max release date of Saturday, April 24th. Dreamgirls has an all star cast including Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx and more!
The Artist
Out of the many new movies on HBO this month, one standout is The Artist. The Artist won the coveted Academy Award for Best Picture at the 2012 Oscars! The silent black and white film has an HBO Max release date of Monday, April 26th.
