October 2026 highlights on HBO Max in Iceland

Details are subject to change.

KILL JACKIE
Premieres 2 October

Jackie Price (Oscar, BAFTA and Tony Award-winning Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers that ‘The Seven Demons’, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her. Assuming someone from her past is behind it, Jackie unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a wild, dangerous game plan: to take down ‘The Seven Demons’ one by one before they kill her. However, she soon realizes that her own demons are far more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail… and her buried secrets lead her closer to home, with surprising consequences. From the creatives behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London, the series is based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by Sunday Times best-selling author Nick Harkaway, who writes under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen.
(8 x 45 min, all episodes available on premiere day)

RAGE
Season 2 premieres 9 October

In the second season of the Spanish HBO Original drama series Rage (Furia), several women become trapped in a market-driven system where everything is liable to become a lucrative spectacle. They will all have to face these harsh situations with the only weapon they have left: rage.

CRYSTAL LAKE
Premieres 15 October

A prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise, the series follows single mother Pam Voorhees, who has been unable to shake her grief after her young, sickly son Jason tragically drowned in the town lake almost a year earlier. When two strangers arrive at Pam’s door digging into her past, a disturbing chain of events is set in motion, leaving the townspeople of Crystal Lake wondering: just who is Pam Voorhees? Set within the world of one of horror’s most enduring franchises, Crystal Lake expands the mythology of Pamela and Jason Voorhees through a suspenseful new mystery. Crystal Lake stars Emmy winner Linda Cardellini and William Catlett and is produced by A24. Brad Caleb Kane (IT: Welcome to Derry, Tokyo Vice, Warrior, Black Sails) serves as creator, writer, showrunner and executive producer.
