Like Water For Chocolate (Sunday, Nov. 3)

This series delves into how traditions can trap individuals and stand in the way of love. Tita de la Garza and Pedro Múzquiz are deeply in love but kept apart by rigid family customs. Set in a world of magical realism and vibrant flavors, Tita battles between her family’s expectations and her pursuit of love. Through it all, her sanctuary becomes the kitchen—where her passion for cooking becomes an act of rebellion, infusing her recipes with emotions that deeply affect all who taste them.

Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid (Thursday, Nov. 14)

The documentary also explores his unique 30-year marriage to Republican consultant Mary Matalin, featuring insights from figures like Bill Clinton and George Stephanopoulos.

Dune: Prophecy (Sunday, Nov. 17)

Set in the expansive Dune universe, Dune: Prophecy journeys back 10,000 years before Paul Atreides, following two Harkonnen sisters as they confront forces that could shape the future of humanity. Inspired by Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the series explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit. Alongside the show, Max will launch a companion podcast, featuring exclusive insights from the creators and cast to help fans dive deeper into Dune’s intricate world. This series is one of the top must-watch releases on Max in November. 

Night Is Not Eternal (Tuesday, Nov. 19)

Night Is Not Eternal offers a profound look into political activism through the lens of Chinese American filmmaker Nanfu Wang, who spent seven years documenting the journey of Cuban activist Rosa Maria Paya. As the daughter of renowned dissident Oswaldo Paya, Rosa strives for democratic reform in Cuba. Inspired by her own experiences with oppression in China, Nanfu captures Rosa's growth from a local activist in Havana to an influential global figure. Through this journey, the documentary reveals the resilience and risks activists face in the fight against authoritarianism.

Surveilled (Wednesday, Nov. 20)

Surveilled follows The New Yorker journalist Ronan Farrow as he delves into the booming commercial spyware industry, tracing its origins from New York City to Tel Aviv, a hub for espionage technology. Having been a target of covert surveillance himself, Farrow investigates this multibillion-dollar sector, highlighting the dual nature of phone hacking: its potential for monitoring criminal activity and the significant threats it poses to civil liberties. The documentary raises crucial questions about privacy and the implications of a world increasingly reliant on surveillance technology.
