3 Must-Watch HBO Max Shows You Need to Stream in November 2025

Before the streaming era, HBO was the most powerful brand on TV. HBO Max has lost a little luster since then, but it’s still a powerhouse among streamers.

HBO is keeping busy in the penultimate month of 2025 with several new and original series.

Watch With Us has narrowed them down to the three must-watch HBO Max shows you need to stream in November.

Our picks include a new comedy series, a French period drama and a very candid sports documentary with a polarizing figure.

Comedian and actress Rachel Sennott created and stars in I Love LA as Maia, a woman who doesn’t necessarily want to be a star in Hollywood. She’d be happy enough if her career as a talent manager could take off. When she moved to Los Angeles from New York, Maia had to leave her codependent friends group behind. Now, they’re coming back into her life, starting with Tallulah (Odessa A’zion).

Tallulah has made it as an influencer, and she brings her own personal brand of chaos when Maia takes her on as a client. In a way, Tallulah brings out the worst qualities of Maia, which is something that Maia’s current boyfriend, Dylan (Josh Hutcherson), may have trouble dealing with. Dylan is the normal guy in Maia’s circle of friends, but maybe not for long.

If you’ve seen any of the numerous adaptations of Dangerous Liaisons, then you probably know the gist of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos‘ French novel, Les Liaisons dangereuses. The Seduction is a French period drama that loosely adapts the book, but with the novel’s villainous Isabelle de Merteuil (Anamaria Vartolomei) in the lead.

This show is treating Isabelle as the heroine of her own story, as she is betrayed by her former lover, Vicomte de Valmont (Vincent Lacoste). To get her revenge, Isabelle first needs power, and she’ll find some measure of it by seducing high-society men and worming her way into their world. Isabelle can play the game of seduction just as well as any man, but she’s going to make more than a few enemies on her way to the top.

The Seduction will stream on HBO Max on November 14.
