When in October of last year HBO made the leap to become HBO Max, we all remember the disaster: series that were nowhere to be found, unfulfilled promises, missing chapters… And not even all of their originals. From the company they asked us for time: little by little all the series of the platform would be uploaded. Today, in the drift to which we are sadly accustomed and after not uploading, not even remotely, half of the American catalogue, it is known that 36 series will disappear from the catalog in the United States, including 20 originals… many of which we have not even seen in Spain.
We didn’t meet you and we already miss you
This is the case of ‘Aquaman: King of Atlantis’ or ‘The not-to-late night show with Elmo’which are part of a bunch of animated and live-action series that will be literally erased, like the more than decent ‘Generation’, which they’ll just vanish into thin air being some of the least viewed titles to desperately save costs. A new move by Warner, like the cancellation of ‘Batgirl’, applauded by some and despised by others.
The animation in particular has suffered a huge cut, as was announced a few days ago, and fabulous series like ‘Infinity train’, ‘OK KO’ or ‘Close enough’, among others, are disappearing. But this does not only affect HBO Max: in the process of changing the new platform, also Discovery + is going to run out of the less popular series. Do you remember when we said “Well, if it’s an original there’s no rush to see it, it’ll stay on the platform until it closes”? Surprise.
At least some of the deleted series have their version in physical format, but many others could only be found on HBO Max and now they are lost, we don’t know if forever or until Warner solve your financial problems.
Short of some unspecified ‘Sesame Street’ specials, these are The 36 series that leave at the end of this week HBO Max in the US (with an asterisk the 14 that we also have in Spain and, therefore, are in danger). Some are nobody’s favorite, but many others are. It’s never a good idea to mess with animation fans…
