Almost a month ago, the HBO channel canceled further filming of the once popular series “World of the Wild West”. But the bad news for fans of the series does not end there. It became known that the World of the Wild West will soon completely disappear from the catalog of the HBO Max streaming service.
Currently, there is no exact data on the terms of removal of the series from the catalog. However, it is known that several projects will go under the knife at once, including the TV series “Personal Life” and “Incredibles”. Additionally, The Donut Chronicles creator Claudia Forestieri tweeted that this past weekend will be the last weekend for her show on HBO Max. For now, all of these series are still available in the service’s catalog, but will probably disappear from it within this week.
**Regardless of this unceremonious end, I’m still IMMENSELY pleased to be the permanent privilege of creating a series, protected from my own thoughts and to prove the Dominicans and my pleasant immigrant-filled hometown of Miami…

According to Deadline, the catalog reduction is part of a “financial review” at the company. At the same time, the cuts “are likely to appear on other platforms of the company” Warner Bros. Discovery. It is noted that active cost savings are taking place, as the entertainment conglomerate reduces residual payments to actors and crews.

David Zaslav headed the company that emerged from the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery earlier this year. After that, it became clear that HBO Max was in for hard times. Even before the deal was completed, executives told investors they would pursue “content efficiency.” This phrase can be interpreted as a desire to save money on the most expensive projects. After that, the series “Batwoman” was frozen, about 200 episodes of “Sesame Street” were removed from the streaming catalog, and many other projects were closed.
