This April, HBO Max brings a diverse slate of award-winning thrillers, mysteries, and fantasy series that fans will love, not just watch. The original comedies coming to the platform are guaranteed to make fans LOL.

Fasten your seatbelts! In the season two premiere of the Emmy(R)-winning series “The Flight Attendant” (4/21), Cassie is living her best sober life in Los Angeles while moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time. But when an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue.

HBO Max continues to celebrate Black girl magic with the season three premiere of the Emmy(R)-winning series “A Black Lady Sketch Show” (4/8), set in a limitless magical reality full of dynamic, hilarious characters and celebrity guests.

The Emmy(R)-winning dark comedy series “Barry” (4/24) returns this month. Desperate to leave his violent past behind in favor of his newfound passion, Barry is attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting.

This month also brings one-of-a-kind real-life stories that reflect the human experience on the screen. Fans will immerse themselves into stories of complex characters that connect with everyone.

From Academy Award(R)-winner Barry Levinson comes “The Survivor” (4/27), an HBO Original from filmmaker Barry Levinson, and starring Ben Foster as the lead. Tells an incredible true story of Harry Haft, who, after being sent to Auschwitz, survives not only the inhumane persecution of the camp, but the gladiatorial boxing spectacles he is forced to perform with his fellow prisoners for the amusement of his captors.

From the producers of HBO’s critically acclaimed “The Wire,” comes “We Own This City,” (4/25) chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force and the corruption permeating an American city.

Fans will get a full 360 look into the life of legendary pro skateboarder Tony Hawk in the feature documentary “Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off” (4/5). This documentary is an all-encompassing look at the skateboarder’s life, legendary career, and relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades.

Inspired by Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, “Tokyo Vice” (4/7) captures Adelstein’s daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ’90s, where betrayal and suspicion lurk behind every corner.

Other original programming premiering this month delivers a wide array of unique stories that resonate across all genres. The following titles will deliver new distinctive storylines, multi-dimensional characters and talk-worthy content.

Fans of Adam McKay will enjoy “The Invisible Pilot” (4/4), a three-part documentary series by Emmy(R)-winning filmmakers Phil Lott and Ari Mark. The labyrinthine story is a tale of a daring husband and father who unexpectedly jumps off of a bridge in 1977, despite his successful career as a pilot and seemingly happy home life. The story begins in the Midwest and ends up as part of one of the biggest political scandals of the 21st century.

Part two of “The Way Down: God, Greed, And The Cult Of Gwen Shamblin” (4/28), directed by Primetime Emmy(R)-winning filmmaker Marina Zenovich, highlights the legacy of Remnant’s infamous leader, whose life came to a shocking end after a plane crash in May 2021.

Mystery fans can follow Hercule Poirot’s investigation with “Death On The Nile” (3/29), an adaptation of a classic tale, following a murder mystery. While on vacation on the Nile, Hercule Poirot must investigate the murder of a young heiress.

Horror fans will get their thrills from “The Night House” (4/8), which follows Beth, a widow who discovers a dark secret about the house her deceased architect husband built. During her investigation of the house, she soon realizes its disturbing secrets.

Additional highly anticipated originals debuting this month include The Emmy(R)-nominated Max Original series “Made for Love” (4/28), returns for its second season. Starring Cristin Milioti, Ray Romano, and Billy Magnussen, the comedy series is a cynically poignant story of love and divorce, season two of “Gentleman Jack,”, documentary series “Not So Pretty” (4/14), the season five premiere of the international hit “The Great Pottery Throw Down” (4/14), and the season 4 part B premiere of “Young Justice” (3/31).

HBO Original Documentary “Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off” Debuts April 5

Posted on by Danielle Langer





HBO Original Documentary Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off Debuts April 5

Directed By Sam Jones And Executive Produced By Mark And Jay Duplass

The HBO Original documentary film TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF, directed by Sam Jones and executive produced by Mark Duplass, Jay Duplass, and Mel Eslyn (HBO’s “The Lady and The Dale” and “Somebody Somewhere”) debuts TUESDAY, APRIL 5 (9:00-11:10 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

Synopsis: Centering around intimate new interviews with Tony Hawk himself, the film is an all-encompassing look at the skateboarder’s life, legendary career, and relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades. Hawk, a pioneer of modern vertical skating who is still pushing his limits at the age of 53, remains one of the most influential skateboarders of all time.

Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, the film chronicles Hawk’s meteoric rise from awkward teen outsider in the radical sport of the 1980s – where his father’s efforts to standardize and regulate the nascent competitions complicated his early success and relationships – to multiple X Games gold medalist, trick innovator, entrepreneur, and 12-time National Skateboard Association world champion. While the film celebrates Hawk’s single-minded pursuit of his passion, his relentless, and ultimately successful drive to master the elusive “900” and his refusal to bend to the reality of middle age, it also reveals the perils of fame and notoriety and the constant threat to his physical well-being.

Dynamically showcasing Hawk’s pure joy in skateboarding and his incredible tenacity over 40 years, the documentary probes the complex psyche of a man whose dogged determination and drive to succeed place him at the pinnacle of his sport, while celebrating a legacy that is still being written.

Featured interviews: Tony Hawk, filmmaker/skateboard pioneer Stacy Peralta, professional skateboarders Rodney Mullen, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Neil Blender, Andy MacDonald, Duane Peters, Sean Mortimer, Christian Hosoi and other legendary skateboarders speak to the ongoing challenges of continuing to do what they love while facing the increasing risks to aging bodies and minds.

Upping the visual spectacle is a soundtrack that resonates with the sounds of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, including tracks by The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Echo and The Bunnymen, Joy Division, Pavement, Oingo Boingo, The Replacements, XTC and New Order.

Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents in association with Duplass Brothers Productions and Beware Doll TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF. Directed and produced by Sam Jones; executive producers, Mark Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Jay Duplass.

HBO Acquires TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF, Executive Produced By Mark & Jay Duplass, Directed By Sam Jones

Film Chronicles The Life And Career Of The Skateboarding Legend

HBO has acquired TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF, a feature documentary about the skateboarding legend from Mark and Jay Duplass’ Duplass Brothers Productions and director Sam Jones. The film will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max in 2022.

The film is a wide-ranging, definitive look at Hawk’s life and iconic career, and his relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades. Hawk, born in San Diego, Calif., is a pioneer of modern vertical skating and one of the most influential skateboarders of all time. The documentary features unprecedented access, never-before-seen footage, and interviews with Hawk, and prominent figures in the sport including Stacy Peralta, Rodney Mullen, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Neil Blender, Andy MacDonald, Duane Peters, Sean Mortimer, and Christian Hosoi.

“Sam has managed to make a film that somehow transcends the sport of skating and becomes a unique and very human portrait,” said Mark Duplass. “Can’t wait to share this thing with the world.”

“I’ve been enamored and fascinated with Tony Hawk ever since 1983 when I saw him at the skatepark,” said Jones. “To get to know him as a human being has been the great journey of this film, and to share my love of skating in this way is the culmination of my creative endeavors.”

TONY HAWK: UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF is directed by Sam Jones and executive produced by Mark Duplass, Mel Eslyn and Jay Duplass.
