HBO released the new slate of stuff coming to its streaming services HBO Go and HBO Now today, and, per usual, it’s a mix of older films and the network’s own stuff, out the same day it airs on cable. The biggest name on that latter list is April 22’s The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks, which stars Oprah Winfrey as a woman working with a reporter (Rose Byrne) in order to learn more about her mother’s considerable contributions to medical history.
In terms of theatrical films, last year’s supervillain feature Suicide Squad is making its way to the services in both theatrical and extended versions. (So heads-up, Leto-heads.) Meanwhile, the list of older films has a bit of a “somber Westerns vibe” to it, with Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven and Andrew Dominick’s The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford both available starting on April 1. (Despite the deep pathos of its mechanical bull-riding scenes, Urban Cowboy probably doesn’t make that same prestige-picture cut.)
HBO will also be broadcasting/streaming this year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony (actually happening on April 7, but airing on April 29). The event will feature appearances from new inductees Pearl Jam, Journey, ELO, and more, plus presenters like Neil Young, Snoop Dogg, and Lenny Kravitz, who will be performing a tribute to Prince. You can see the full list of films and shows coming to HBO’s services in April below.
