Here’s the Frighteningly Long List of Original Content HBO Max Is Removing

It is a time of cost-cutting and upheaval at the reconfigured Warner Bros. Discovery under CEO David Zaslav. The streaming platforms HBO Max and Discovery+ will be merging together at some point in the future, and the company is doing some housecleaning in the meantime. And it’s much, much worse than it sounds. Via Variety, 36 titles will be removed from HBO Max streaming as early as this week, including many HBO Max Originals, and some series are reportedly already gone.

Discovery intends to make missing content available physically or through other means, but for the moment, it appears some content will just beĀ gone, unavailable to consume anywhere legally.
