One of the highly anticipated HBO original series for October is "The Franchise," set to premiere on October 6. Created by Armando Iannucci, Jon Brown, and Sam Mendes, the show promises to offer a satirical take on superhero movie franchises, akin to what "Veep" did for government politics.

For horror enthusiasts, the Mia Goth-starring film "MaXXXine" will debut on Max on October 18. Directed by Ti West, known for his work on "X" and "Pearl," this installment follows the journey of adult film star Maxine as she navigates the treacherous waters of 1980s Hollywood while being pursued by a mysterious killer.
Adding to the suspense is M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller "Trap," premiering on Max on October 25. The film follows a father and daughter attending a pop concert, only to discover that it is a trap set to catch a notorious serial killer hiding among the audience.
On the HBO front, the third and final season of "Somebody Somewhere" will premiere on October 27. The show, which has garnered a loyal following for its heartfelt storytelling and humor, will bid farewell with promises of growth and emotional depth in its final season. Starring Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller, the series has been praised for its portrayal of friendship and community in Kansas.
In addition to these highlights, HBO and Max will be offering a wide range of movies and shows throughout October. From classic horror films like "A Nightmare on Elm Street" to acclaimed dramas like "Lawrence of Arabia," viewers will have plenty of options to choose from to suit their tastes.
With a mix of comedy, horror, and drama, HBO’s lineup for October promises to keep viewers entertained and engaged throughout the month. Whether you’re a fan of superhero satire, psychological thrillers, or heartfelt storytelling, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this spooky season.
