HBO has announced that their Warner Bros. Discovery dramas Westworld and The Nevers are being pulled from HBO Max. The news comes as the HBO Max slate has been undergoing end-of-year financial review by WBD, leading to a slew of cuts, including other series like Lionsgate TV’s Minx and Love Life and Sony TV’s Gordita Chronicles.

The removal of Westworld is a surprise as it remains a popular series for the streamer, and the fourth season was only released this past summer, leaving fans little time to catch up on HBO. But, as Deadline reports, WBD CEO David Zaslav has spoken about his plan to enter the burgeoning FAST channel space, so Westworld and The Nevers would likely be offered in that form.

This marks the formal cancellation for the Joss Whedon-created The Nevers, whose six-episode Season 1A aired back in 2021, with the second part of the season yet to be scheduled. It will now end up in the show’s new home whatever that is. The storyline has been crafted in a way that it concludes with Season 1B, sources said.

Are you bummed about any of these shows leaving HBO Max?
