According to Variety, HBO Max is set to remove 36 titles, including 20 originals, from its platform. The decision has been attributed to Warner Bros Discovery's plan to merge HBO Max with Discovery+, expected to happen in the summer of 2023, as per Variety.
The list of shows being scrapped by the platform includes several fan-favorite films like 12 Dates of Christmas, Generation Hustle, and many more. Without further ado, keep reading to find out more details about HBO's decision and the list of shows being removed.
HBO Max to scrap over 30 titles, including 20 originals
Regarding the decision to remove over three dozen titles from the streaming platform, an HBO Max representative mentioned in a statement (obtained via Variety),
''As we work toward bringing our content catalogs together under one platform, we will be making changes to the content offering available on both HBO Max and discovery+. That will include the removal of some content from both platforms.''
As per Variety, the decision could also help Warner Bros. Discovery with cost-cutting as several not-so-popular titles will be taken off the streaming platform. Currently, there's no update on when exactly these titles will be removed from the platform.
