Max's April highlights are largely in the documentary genre. First up is the limited series The Synanon Fix (April 1, weekly episodes), which dives deep into the rehab-program-turned-cult; followed by Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion (April 9), an HBO Original film that explores the cult-like following of fast fashion brand Brandy Melville.

Later in the month is An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th (April 16) about the context around the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and The Jinx—Part Two (April 21), a six-episode continuation of the Emmy-winning series exploring the life of Robert Durst.

On the drama side, The Sympathizer—an HBO Original limited series co-produced with A24—debuts on April 14 with new episodes dropping weekly. The show, based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, is an espionage thriller story of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy at the end of the Vietnam war.

There's also a new comedy special from Alex Edelman (Just For Us, April 6); season four of unscripted series We're Here (new episodes weekly starting April 26), which follows drag queens Sasha Velour, Priyanka, Jaida Essence Hall, and Latrice Royale as they visit small-town communities across America; and the debut of the four-episode unscripted series Conan O'Brien Must Go (April 18).

Finally, Max has a packed schedule of live and on-demand sports this month, including the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four (April 6–8) as well as NBA, NHL, MLB, US Soccer, MotoGP, and professional cycling.

Here’s everything else coming to Max in April.
