Looney Tunes<\/em> is the latest casualty of HBO Max’s library culling.<\/p>\n

The streamer has pulled Seasons 16-31 of the animated series from its service, which amounts to 256 shorts ranging from 1950 to 2004, Vulture reports. The site notes that HBO Max chose not to renew its license for the Warner Bros. shorts after it expired at the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

Looney Tunes<\/em> is the most recent show to become a victim of Warner Bros. Discovery’s cost-cutting efforts at HBO Max. Since early December, the streamer has canceled FBoy Island<\/em>, Legendary<\/em>, minx<\/em> (which had been renewed for, and nearly completed production on, Season 2) and lovelife. <\/em>Meanwhile, canceled HBO dramas The Nevers<\/em>, Westworld<\/em> and The Time Traveler’s Wife<\/em> were among the content pulled from HBO Max’s library, as were Raised by Wolves, Finding Magic Mike<\/em> and Head of the Class<\/em>. Warner Bros. Discovery plans to shop the titles to free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) services such as Pluto TV, Tubi and Peacock.<\/p>\n
