If you want to know everything that is coming and going from Max, just scroll down below our top picks for a full list.


Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot returns

Max takes a crack at adapting the horror classic

Salem’s Lot has already gotten two adaptations in the form of miniseries in 1979 and 2004, but this will be the first time anyone has attempted to translate the novel into a single movie. The plot centers on an author named Ben Mears visiting his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot after suffering a serious case of writer’s block. However, what he ends up discovering there is a bit more than the inspiration he was looking for as he soon discovers a vampire has taken residence in the town. The film stars Lewis Pullman, Afre Woodard, and Makenzie Leigh and was written and directed by Gary Dauberman who has an extensive history in the horror genre.


Caddo Lake is a mysterious thriller

M. Night Shyamalan produces this Max original

While very little is known about Caddo Lake, that might end up working in the film’s benefit. The only scrap of information released about it simply tells us that the disappearance of an eight-year-old girl leads to revelations about a long history of deaths and vanishings across a family’s past. Just that small tidbit is enough to get thriller fans excited and leaves plenty of room for the film to surprise us. Plus, M. Night Shyamalan coming on to produce does lend a bit of weight to the film. He may not be back to his previous status, but has been on a nice upward trend lately so there’s hope he could help steer this film to greatness.


The Confidante twists the truth in this miniseries

Being based on true events makes it even more gripping

On the series front, Max is bringing a tight 4-episode series based on true events called The Confidante. After the real-life terror attacks that took place on November 13, 2015, in Paris, a woman by the name of Christelle ingrains herself in a community of survivors of the attack. Claiming that she was friends with one of the victims injured during the attack, she eventually becomes an integral member of the association. That is until others begin to realize her story may not be as accurate as she claims. This series will be released weekly, giving us plenty of time to speculate and theorize on what is and isn’t true.
