The Little Things

HBO Max has announced a big list of series and films that are arriving on the service in January including the day-and-date release of Denzel Washington’s new film The Little Things, the classic sci-fi series Babylon 5, a ton of DC Animated offerings, and much more. The list is particularly long this month and includes several TV series such as Gossip Girl and The Wayans Bros, along with a ton of film classics like the Mad Max franchise, Reservoir Dogs, Scream, Purple Rain, This Is Spinal Tap, both Kill Bill films, and more.

The Little Things is the first film of Warner Bros. 2021 theatrical slate to release day-and-date on HBO Max and, like December’s Wonder Woman 1984, will be available for 31 days on the service as it plays in theaters.

Speaking of Wonder Woman 1984, it will be leaving in late January after its 31-day streaming window. Also exiting are several films cycling off HBO (and thus off HBO Max) such as the Ocean’s Eleven films, Blade and Blade II, Friday Night Lights, and more. The full list is below:

TITLES COMING TO HBO MAX IN JANUARY

Exact Dates to be Announced:
* Arthur’s Law (Max Original Series Premiere)
The unemployed Arthur Ahnepol (Jan Josef Liefers) ekes out a bleak existence. Drawn from the strains of his unhappy marriage and bored to death, he makes a morbid plan: he wants his obnoxious wife to die. With the money from the life insurance there’s no obstacle for a restart with his beloved mistress. But an unwritten law dominates the life of the unlucky fellow: every problem solved by Arthur has a far worse effect. And so, he sets off an avalanche of disastrous events.
* The Event (Max Original Series Premiere)

Just as they decide to separate, Linda (Anne Hathaway) and Paxton (Chiwetel Ejiofor) find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown.

* Perfect Life (fka Vida Perfecta) (Max Original Season 1 Premiere)
Maria, Esther and Cristina are three women in the middle of a life crisis. They have realized that the plans they had made for themselves haven’t really gotten them the long-promised happiness they yearned for. Together, they will find alternatives and make decisions that will lead them away from what society expects from them. They will soon realize that life doesn’t necessarily have to be what they always imagined.
* Possessions (HBO Max Season 1 Premiere)
The series tells the story of Natalie, a young French expatriate in Israel, who is charged with the murder of her husband on their wedding night. Karim, a French diplomat in charge of helping French citizens who have to deal with the Israeli authorities, slowly falls for Natalie. He cannot figure out whether the young lady is deeply lost and vulnerable, or dangerously manipulative. Obsessed with this case, Karim dives into Natalie and her family’s mysterious past.
