Looking ahead to HBO and Max‘s January 2024 lineup, it’s safe to say that it is looking very reality-heavy, thanks to even more incoming shows from the Discovery side of Warner Bros. Discovery.

For the first time in a long time, there isn’t a single major Hollywood release among this month’s VOD (Video on Demand) and digital releases. December would have been a hard act to follow after Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Killers of the Flower Moon went on-demand. But January looks pretty lackluster by comparison.
