How do you top season 2 of House of the Dragon? Turns out, you don’t, at least according to HBO and Max, which just released their lackluster August 2024 programming schedule. There’s not a lot of compelling new content to watch this month unless you’re a big fan of Maine Cabin Masters.
Among the highlights are the season 3 premiere of Industry, the series that takes a dramatic look at the lives of London financial workers, and Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears. Older movies returning to the service include the classic Julia Roberts rom-com Pretty Woman and the Liam Neeson action movie Taken.
