Everything ends. No, I’m not having an existential crisis; I’m looking at Max‘s lineup in November! While it’s true that the streamer will be adding lots of new shows and movies, it will also be saying goodbye to quite a few films and series in November.
Probably the most significant things leaving Max this month are the AMC+ shows A Discovery of Witches, Dark Winds, Killing Eve, Interview with the Vampire, Ride with Norman Reedus, Fear the Walking Dead, and Gangs of London. This isn’t surprising as they were on a three-month loan from the rival streamer. Other movies leaving the service include the underrated horror sequel A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, the steamy 1994 thriller Disclosure, and the classic suburban nightmare film Poltergeist. Check out the list below and try to watch some of these gems before they leave Max for good (or at least a long while).
Editor’s note: This list may not be comprehensive and is subject to change by the network/streamer.
A Discovery of Witches, Season 1-3 (AMC+)
Fear the Walking Dead, Seasons 1-7 (AMC+)
Gangs of London, Seasons 1-2 (AMC+)

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
