A two-minute commercial previewing HBO‘s 2026 programming, ostensibly to gin up $11-a-month subscriptions before the January retail slump, includes short clips from Euphoria, House of the Dragon, The Pitt, a Mel Brooks doc, and, funniest of all, Untitled Larry David Project (italics ours).
The fleeting glimpses of Euphoria set up the highly anticipated third season, with Zendaya’s character explaining that it takes place “a few years after high school,” featuring portraits of stars Zendaya, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer, along with an SUV careening across a desert. It ends with Zendaya striding confidently into a bar as a man chides her for brazenly walking in without introducing herself.

The Pitt bit shows one of Pittsburgh’s famous yellow bridges and actor Noah Wyle aloofly proclaiming, “And so it begins,” before a bloody body is resuscitated in the ER. The House of the Dragon glimpse finds Olivia Cooke ominously opining, “Rhaenyra will do what she has to do, and what she has to do will be dire,” as a battalion of knights assemble and a skull burns in a fireplace. Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! shows the nonagenarian comic genius beaming, “If I can do it, you can do it,” while Untitled Larry David Project garbs enthusiasm (and David and Jerry Seinfeld) in Revolutionary War regalia, as he says, in another scene, “I got a really good feeling about this.” (Stick around a second longer for his ridiculous fake mustache.)
The clip also teases several new series, including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, DC Studios’ Lanterns, DTF St. Louis (watch Jason Bateman explain what “DTF” means to David Harbour!), Rooster, Half Man, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and War, as well as new seasons of The Comeback, Industry, Hacks, The Gilded Age and Dune: Prophecy.
