MARCH 31

• The Parenting, Max Original Film

A hilariously terrifying comedy, The Parenting follows young couple Rohan and Josh as they plan a perfect weekend getaway in the country to introduce their parents. As tensions begin to flare between the more traditional Sharon and Frank and the laid-back Liddy and Cliff, the families soon realise that their rental – managed by eccentric local Brenda – is haunted by the presence of a 400-year-old poltergeist. When one parent becomes thoroughly possessed, it’s up to the young couple and their meddlesome BFF Sara to unite the families and stop the evil entity once and for all.

Starring Nik Dodani, Brandon Flynn, Brian Cox, Edie Falco, Lisa Kudrow, Dean Norris, Parker Posey, and Vivian Bang, The Parenting is directed by Craig Johnson; written by Kent Sublette; produced by Chris Bender and Jake Weiner. Executive producers: Richard Brener, Chris Pan, David Neustadter, and Jared Ian Goldman.

APRIL 1

• Fast Friends, Max Original Series – STREAM EVERY EPISODE (4 Episodes)

Celebrating the beloved series’ 30th anniversary, this special four-part game show finds nine teams facing off in the ultimate Friends tournament. Hosted by comedian Whitney Cummings and taped at The Friends Experience: The One in New York City, this dynamic game show keeps even the most die-hard fans on their toes as they race through the world of Friends. With challenges taking place on the iconic sets, including Rachel and Monica’s apartment, Joey and Chandler’s bachelor pad, Central Perk, the Vegas wedding chapel, and Phoebe’s taxi, the teams re-live their favourite moments while being put to the test with games, puzzles, and trivia – but only the three fastest teams will advance to the finale for a chance to win the ultimate prize: The Geller Cup.

Friends: The Game Show is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon. The new four-part game show is executive produced by Dan Sacks, Bridgette Theriault, and Dan Norris. Richard Burgio serves as co-executive producer.
