The Penguin episode guide

The Penguin premieres tonight, Sept. 19, 2024 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max. That's right, you'll need to wait until that time to start watching on the streamer, instead of a midnight release since this is considered a HBO show first. Though going forward, be sure to note the release day is going to be different.

Max plans and prices

HBO is going to be available through your TV/cable provider. If you'd rather go the streaming route, there's three Max plans to choose from, as well as some bundles as well. My advice is if you don't have a subscription to the streaming service and only want to do so to watch The Penguin, then I'd choose the most affordable plan and that's the With Ads. Or if you commercials really annoy you, then the Ad-Free tier is $16.99/month vs the Ultimate Ad-Free. We listed them all below:

• With Ads: $9.99/month
• Ad-Free: $16.99/month
• Ultimate Ad-Free: $20.99/month
• Disney+, Hulu, Max Bundle (With Ads): $16.99/month
