Summer 2026 highlights on HBO Max in Iceland
In July and August, HBO Max will premiere Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, a highly anticipated new series for fans of The Big Bang Theory, as well as the DC Universe drama series Lanterns, which is based on the characters from DC’s Green Lantern comics. For the viewers looking to cool off in the summer heat, the new film Lee Cronin’s The Mummy offers chilling thrills. Meanwhile, the painfully timely new series Tip Toe, written by award-winning screenwriter Russell T Davies, follows neighbours whose relationship grows increasingly tense, with devastating consequences.
Details are subject to change.
TIP TOE
Now available on HBO Max
From multi-BAFTA-winning writer Russell T Davies (Doctor Who, Queer As Folk, It’s A Sin), Tip Toe is a new five-part original drama starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey. The series follows Leo and Clive, who have lived next door to each other in Manchester for almost 15 years. But just as life should be settling down, the world around them is growing more tense. Words become weapons, opinions become radicalised, and gradually, two neighbours become deadly enemies in a tense, suburban thriller which challenges everything we consider to be safe. The series, populated with a cast of vibrant characters and underscored with Davies’ trademark wit and deft humour, is an urgent tale that brings a spotlight to bear on the prejudices which are creeping back into our lives.
(5 x 50 min, new episodes weekly on Thursdays)
LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY
Premieres 3 July
The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace – eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.

The film is written and directed by Lee Cronin and produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville. The executive producers are Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher and Lee Cronin.
