Every New TV Show and Movie Hitting HBO Max This Week: September 22–28, 2025
HBO Max stacks the week of September 22–28 with Halloween Wars Season 15 premiering September 22, plus new seasons of Seeking Sister Wife, Hustlers Gamblers Crooks, and Help! I Wrecked My House.
Max is loading up the week of September 22 with a grab bag of seasonal sugar, messy home rescues, gambling drama, and a few doc drops that are very 'only-on-cable' energy. Yes, spooky season is already here.
The headliners
Halloween Wars, Season 15 (Food Network) lands Monday, September 22. If you somehow missed the first 14 rounds of this thing, it is a high-stress dessert gauntlet where pumpkin carvers, candy makers, and cake decorators team up to build Halloween showpieces and chase a grand prize. It is chaotic in a fun way and very much the signal that October is basically here.
Seeking Sister Wife, Season 6 (TLC) turns up Tuesday, September 23. The new season tracks three families in polygamous relationships, navigating day-to-day drama and the bigger life choices that come with trying to add partners to the mix. If you watch for the social dynamics (or the awkward conversations), you know what you are getting.
Hustlers Gamblers Crooks, Season 2 (Discovery) drops Wednesday, September 24. The docuseries digs into true stories around high-stakes betting, following underdogs who gamble big to change their lives. It is glossy, tense, and pairs interestingly with the Tuesday CNN special on the sports betting boom (more on that below).
Help! I Wrecked My House, Season 5 (HGTV) arrives Thursday, September 25. Jasmine Roth and her crew swoop in on homeowners who took a sledgehammer to their own kitchens and bathrooms and instantly regretted it. Expect competent fixes and the occasional 'why did you do that' reveal.

Quick hits and curiosities
If you like your true-crime adjacent, Tuesday is stacked: a CNN doc on JFK Jr., an HBO Original called The Devil Is Busy, and a CNN deep-dive episode labeled 'The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, Sports Betting: America's Biggest Gamble.' That last one feels tailor-made to sit next to Hustlers Gamblers Crooks on Wednesday. Synergy, or just timing? Either way, it fits.
International corner: Friday brings two Max Originals from overseas — 'Quiet In Class' out of Sweden and 'The Graft' from Turkey. Max has been quietly seeding its lineup with more non-English originals, and this is one of those weeks where you can actually see it on the slate.
Elsewhere, Paula Zahn keeps the long-running investigative train going with Season 28 of 'On The Case,' and Sunday closes with OWN's 'Heart & Hustle: Houston' launching a new run about business and ambition in (you guessed it) Houston.
Bottom line: candy, carving, and chaos up front; documentaries and relationship reality filling the middle; and some international flavor to round it out. Not a bad week to snack on a little bit of everything.
