HBO Max Dumping 36 More Titles, Shows Like Infinity Train May Disappear Entirely

Streaming service HBO Max is planning to remove at least 36 titles, 20 of which are originals, from the platform, which could result in certain programming being unavailable to watch anywhere.

As reported by Variety, a spokesperson for HBO Max said that the removal of the numerous programs is due to the planned merge of the platform with Discovery+. "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+," reads a statement from HBO Max. "That will include the removal of some content from both platforms."

When these titles will be leaving the platform hasn't been confirmed as of yet, but it does leave a number of shows in limbo. An HBO Max exclusive animated show, Infinity Train, is one of the numerous animated programs being taken off of the service, and currently it is the only streaming service where the show is available. It is unclear how or if anyone will be able to legally watch the show going forward.

Another HBO Max animated original, Summer Camp Island, is also being removed from the platform. As noted in a separate report from Variety, the final season of the show was set to air in 2023, and we don't yet know what will happen with those episodes.

Reacting to the news on Twitter, Summer Camp Island's creator Julia Pott wrote, "We worked for 5 years to make 100 episodes of animation. We worked late into the night, we let ourselves go, we were a family of hard working artists who wanted to make something beautiful, and HBO MAX just pulled them all like we were nothing. Animation is not nothing!"

HBO Max also recently removed films such as Camping and Mrs. Fletcher from the platform.
