What’s New on HBO Max in November 2022
Reading Time: 5 minutesA 39-years-later sequel to the beloved holiday classic A Christmas Story—what could possibly go wrong?
If the risk/reward ratio for making a movie sequel grows more skewed with both how beloved the original is and how much time has passed, A Christmas Story Christmas may be one of the most fraught films ever made. I certainly can’t help but greet the followup to 1983’s perennial basic cable classic A Christmas Story, arriving inauspiciously on HBO Max on Nov. 17, with skepticism. It’s either going to be a better-than-passable nostalgia trip (Bill and Ted Face the Music) or an unmitigated disaster (take your pick; there have been a lot of them lately).

It’s too soon to tell, and we haven’t seen much footage yet. All we know is that the story follows the now-adult Ralphie (played once again by Peter Billingsley, whose sparkling blue peepers haven’t aged a day, even as the rest of him makes me feel impossibly ancient) as he returns home to ‘give his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had as a child’ and see some old friends, with many of the kids from the original returning to remind us that every Christmas (and every viewing of A Christmas Story) brings us one step closer to death.
I’m much less concerned about another long-awaited (by me) return; the second season of The Sex Lives of College Girls, the very good show with the very bad title that not nearly enough of you are talking about, premieres Nov. 17 too. Created by Mindy Kaling, it blends the spark and character authenticity of her Netflix series Never Have I Ever with enough frank sexuality that it garnered early comparisons to Sex and the City, but it reminds me more of an uncensored version of the gone-too-soon early aughts Fox sitcom Undeclared. Anyway, binge the first season now.
Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) HBO Max in November, including a new reality show called The Big Brunch (Nov. 10), hosted by Dan Levy, and doesn’t that sound delightful (or insufferable, based on your tolerance level for the Schitt’s Creek alumni); and Love, Lizzo (Nov. 24), a documentary about the large and larger-than-life rap superstar. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.
