‘Peacemaker’ Continues to Lead HBO Max’s Most-Watched Shows List for Yet Another Week: Here Are the Remaining Top 10 Shows

Max has a wide spread of genres right now, from superhero spin-offs and animated sci-fi to docu-reality and weekly current-affairs comedy. To help you decide what to queue next, here’s a clear rundown of the shows people are watching, with the essentials on plots, creative teams, and principal casts.

Each entry includes quick production context—creators, leads, and how the show fits within its franchise—so you can jump in with confidence or catch up from earlier seasons.

10. ‘Ghost Adventures: House Calls’ (2022– )

This spin-off of ‘Ghost Adventures’ brings the investigative team into private residences where families report urgent disturbances. Episodes typically include intake interviews, baseline readings, equipment-assisted investigations, and evidence reviews tailored to homes rather than public sites, with recommendations offered to residents at the end of each case.

Led by Zak Bagans with longtime team members Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley, the production adapts the franchise’s lockdown approach to smaller, domestic environments. New cases premiere on cable before streaming on Max, and the series archives prior investigations for follow-up viewing across the franchise.

9. ‘Welcome to Plathville’ (2019– )

‘Welcome to Plathville’ chronicles the Plath family as parents and adult children navigate changing relationships, moves, and career choices. Early seasons focused on strict household rules and older siblings stepping into independent lives; later seasons expanded to follow relocations, new relationships, and evolving family dynamics across multiple homes.

Produced for TLC with a mix of verité scenes and interviews, the series structures each episode around parallel subplots and season-long story beats. Streaming availability on Max lets viewers trace developments across years, including cast check-ins and reunion-style discussions after major turning points.

8. ’90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’ (2019– )

This entry flips the core format by following Americans who move abroad to live with their partners, confronting visas, language, employment, and extended-family expectations outside the United States. Episodes interweave multiple couples per hour, showing day-to-day logistics and long-term decisions about marriage and residence.

From Sharp Entertainment for TLC, the show maintains the franchise’s confessional structure, location shoots across several countries, and tell-all episodes that gather casts to discuss outcomes. Installments stream on Max, allowing viewers to track cross-show appearances and updates tied to other ’90 Day’ titles.

7. ‘Rick and Morty’ (2013– )

‘Rick and Morty’ follows interdimensional adventures of scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith, intercut with domestic arcs involving Beth, Jerry, and Summer. The series blends high-concept sci-fi premises with serialized lore that revisits earlier choices—alternate realities, clone contingencies, and galactic politics—across its runs.

Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim, the show is written by a rotating staff of comedy and genre writers, with production spanning storyboard, animation, and post-compositing across partner studios. Voice casting for Rick and Morty shifted beginning with later seasons, while the broader ensemble and production pipeline continued, and episodes stream on Max after cable premieres.

6. ’90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?’ (2016– )

This spin-off returns to couples from ’90 Day Fiancé’ after their original K-1 journeys, documenting marriages, moves, and family negotiations. Storylines often cover immigration paperwork, finances, parenting choices, and extended-family dynamics that test relationships beyond the 90-day decision period. Casting rotates season to season to revisit notable pairs.

Produced by Sharp Entertainment for TLC, the series uses multi-thread episode structures, on-location shoots across several cities and countries, and reunion specials that recap outcomes. While new episodes air on cable, seasons stream on Max alongside related titles in the broader ’90 Day’ franchise.

5. ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ (2014– )

This weekly series pairs a fast opening segment with a deeply reported main story that unpacks policy, law, or industry practices. John Oliver anchors the show, supported by a large writers’ room and a dedicated research team that sources original documents, expert interviews, and archival footage. The format allows occasional follow-ups when stories develop.

Produced by HBO, the series has collected awards for writing and variety series craft. Each episode is directed to balance studio monologue, graphics-driven explainers, and field packages, with new installments premiering weekly on HBO and later available to stream on Max.

4. ‘Halloween Baking Championship’ (2015– )

This seasonal competition brings professional and advanced amateur bakers into themed challenges built around spooky aesthetics. Episodes feature pre-heats and main bakes that test structure, decoration, and flavor, often requiring multi-tier cakes, sculpted confections, and edible set-pieces under strict time limits. The show’s fall cycle aligns with Halloween-centric ingredients and design prompts.

Hosted by John Henson across recent seasons, the judging panel has included Carla Hall, Zac Young, and Stephanie Boswell. Produced for Food Network with culinary-competition staples—blind tastings, technical criteria, and eliminations—the series’ runs arrive annually, and episodes stream on Max for easy seasonal marathons.

3. ‘The Pitt’ (2025)

Set in a Pittsburgh trauma center, ‘The Pitt’ uses a compressed-time format to follow staff through a single intense ER shift. Noah Wyle headlines the ensemble, joined by a cast built around emergency medicine roles—attendings, nurses, and residents—handling overlapping crises. The storylines focus on triage decisions, resource constraints, and the ripple effects of high-stakes calls.

The series was developed by longtime medical-drama producers and writers, with R. Scott Gemmill as creator and John Wells among the executive producers. Production is through Warner Bros. Television and associated shingle partners, with direction spread across veteran episodic helmers familiar with real-time or near-real-time storytelling.

2. ‘Task’ (2025– )

‘Task’ is a crime drama centered on a federal-local task force confronting violent crews in and around Philadelphia. The series is led by Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey, with an ensemble that features performers from both prestige drama and thriller backgrounds. The narrative tracks investigations alongside family and community pressures that complicate casework.

The show was created by Brad Ingelsby, known for grounded crime stories set in the same region, and it is produced for HBO with weekly releases and streaming availability on Max. Season structure emphasizes case escalation, interagency coordination, and the personal costs of sustained enforcement work.

1. ‘Peacemaker’ (2022– )

Created by James Gunn, ‘Peacemaker’ extends the DC storyline introduced in ‘The Suicide Squad’, following government-run black-ops missions tied to a covert program. John Cena leads the cast as the title antihero, with key series regulars including Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Chukwudi Iwuji. The show mixes action and espionage assignments with serialized arcs connected to a larger conspiracy.

Gunn serves as creator and principal writer, and the series is produced by DC Studios, The Safran Company, and Warner Bros. Television. Its first season established a connective thread to DC film continuity, and subsequent episodes build out the team dynamic around field operations, handlers, and rival assets.
