New On Max In August 2023: Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of The Realms, A Nightmare On Elm Street 1-5

As August approaches, Max has unveiled its lineup of TV shows and movies coming to the platform in the upcoming month. Starting from the beginning of August, viewers can look forward to many new and classic titles, all scheduled to premiere throughout the month.

Coming August 1, get ready to stream the action-packed animated Mortal Kombat Legends sequel, Battle of The Realms. Lord Raiden seeks to end the tournaments’ bloodshed once and for all, leading to one final Mortal Kombat tournament that will determine the future of all realms. This direct-to-video 2021 release features much of the original cast returning: Joel McHale as Johnny Cage, Jennifer Carpenter as Sonya Blade, Jordan Rodrigues as Liu Kang, and Patrick Seitz as Scorpion, just to name a few. Newcomers here include Bayardo De Murguia as Sub-Zero, alongside new characters like Kung Lao, Jade, and D’Vorah. Franchise co-creator Ed Boon serves as a consultant.

Also on August 1, Max has much of the entire Nightmare on Elm Street franchise coming to the platform. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985), A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989), and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), will be just a click away soon. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or just getting acquainted with this supernatural slasher-horror series, it’s the perfect time to catch up. Also, don’t miss GameSpot’s recent interview with Robert Englund, where he shares how a “happy accident” led him to become a horror actor and reflects on his legendary role as Freddy Krueger throughout the series.

Below is a list of all the content coming to Max in August. You can also check out our lists for Disney+, Hulu, and Prime Video. HBO and HBO Max were collectively nominated earlier this month for 127 Emmys.
