In potentially devastating news for kids and parents, about 200 episodes of Sesame Street<\/em> have been removed from HBO Max, variety<\/em> reports. Many of the dropped episodes are from the show’s earliest seasons, and the number of Sesame Street<\/em> episodes on the service has fallen from around 650 to 456, according to variety. <\/em><\/p>\n

HBO and Sesame Street<\/em> have been connected for years; WarnerMedia (now Warner Bros. Discovery) locked in a big five-year deal in 2019 to exclusively stream new episodes of the show, and Sesame Street<\/em> first began airing on HBO in 2016.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear why this slate of episodes has disappeared from HBO Max, and we’ve reached out to Warner Bros. Discovery and Sesame Workshop for comment. But the older episodes of Sesame Street<\/em> aren’t the only shows that are getting pulled; according to NPR, Warner Bros. Discovery is also planning to remove 36 titles from HBO Max. That includes some Sesame Street<\/em> specials and the late-night-style show starring Elmo, as well as HBO Max Originals like Infinity Train<\/em> and Summer Camp Island<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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 Plus,\u201d HBO Max said in a statement to variety<\/em> regarding the decision to pull 36 shows. \u201cThat will include the removal of some content from both platforms.\u201d The new app replacing HBO Max and Discovery Plus is set to launch next summer.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Discovery has been dropping content left and right; it recently shelved Batgirl<\/em> and yanked at least six Warner Bros. movies from HBO Max. Earlier this week, the company cut jobs at HBO Max because of overlap from the Warner Bros. Discovery megamerger. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
