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. Following its cancelation, Westworld and a host of other shows, including Raised by Wolves, The Nevers, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Finding Magic Mike, among others, were removed from HBO Max.

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 Nevers, The Bachelor, Cake Boss, and F-Boy Island, among others, will join Roku and Tubi as part of new free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels. Each of the two streaming services will have dedicated Warner Bros. Discovery-branded channels, with over 2,000 hours of content headed to each platform. Roku will begin streaming this content in spring 2023 while Tubi will begin rolling out this content as early as February 1.

It does not look like this deal includes any new episodes but not only can these shows once again be viewed but now for free

I didn’t understand why they ranked all the existing episodes. Would love to see Roku pick up RBW for new episodes. We’ll see…
