Westworld Finds New Streaming Home After HBO Max Removal

Westworld and a number of other canceled HBO Max shows now have a new streaming home thanks to a groundbreaking new deal. Based on the novel by author Michael Crichton, Westworld first aired on HBO back in 2016, telling the story of a new type of AI-filled amusement park in which wealthy guests can live out their most wild fantasies. The show, which is created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, ran for four seasons before it was canceled last November.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, per a new report from Variety, Westworld and a host of other canceled HBO Max shows will have new streaming homes thanks to groundbreaking deals Warner Bros. Discovery has made with The Roku Channel and Tubi. Westworld, Raised by Wolves, Legendary, The NeversThe Bachelor, Cake Boss, and F-Boy Island, among others, will join Roku and Tubi as part of new free, ad-supported streaming television channels.

Showtime recently removed shows like Kidding, On Becoming A God In Central Florida, American Rust, American Gigolo, and Let The Right One In in an effort to cut costs, with many of these shows expected to be shopped to third-party buyers. Amazon already has its own FAST channel with Freevee and other big streamers like Netflix may also soon start to explore its own FAST option.

Ironically, the move toward FAST channels, in many ways, mirrors the TV landscape before the rise of streaming. It remains to be seen how the streaming industry will continue to evolve, but it seems likely that streamers like Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Paramount+, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Showtime, may begin to explore new ways to write down content and save money.

Season 4 was amazing. Still hoping someone buys it and finishes it up.

Stop watching after Season 2 and thank me later.

Shame they stopped one of the best series ever.
