The quasianthology <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> from Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan is being removed from HBO Max as sources say that Warner Bros. Discovery execs are seeking new ways to monetize the drama, whose fourth and now final season clocked in north of $160 million. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The company said Dec. 14 that a number of canceled HBO and HBO Max programs will be packaged in a new bundle to be sold to third-party streaming services that are free and ad-supported. Those shows include <em>Westworld<\/em> and <em>The Nevers<\/em>, as well as <em>FBoy Island<\/em>, <em>Legendary<\/em>, <em>The Time <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travel<\/a>er\u2019s Wife<\/em> and <em>Raised by Wolves<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Meanwhile, a number of other shows will come off the HBO Max platform as WBD looks for license partnerships. Sources tell <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that HBO floated the idea of producing a fifth season of <em>Westworld <\/em>for the WBD FAST platform, but showrunners Joy and Nolan were not eager to produce the show for a service that would have required a substantially lower budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThe FAST service would allow them to have their cake and eat it, too,\u201d notes one of the sources. \u201cGet the write-off of pulling the show from the main service and do something new with it, too.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    HBO\u2019s decision to pull <em>Westworld <\/em>comes as Warner Bros. Discovery is reversing renewals and pulling other shows off its platform as part of a larger bid to cut costs across the company, including write-offs and impairments related to content and development costs of $2.8 billion to $3.5 billion, up from $2 billion to $2.5 billion. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s easier to find a new home for a show like <em>Westworld<\/em> (produced in-house by Warner Bros. TV) than <em>Minx<\/em>, the risqu\u00e9 Lionsgate TV comedy that HBO renewed in May. With <em>Minx<\/em>, sources say that HBO was interested in putting the well-reviewed series starring Jake Johnson, about the creation of the first erotic magazine for women, on its FAST platform, but the show\u2019s Lionsgate TV ownership (not to mention mature content) was a roadblock. With only 10 days of production remaining, HBO will foot the bill for the just-completed season two as Lionsgate TV shops both seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>This story first <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared in the Dec. 16 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.hollywoodreporter.com\/sub\/?p=THR&amp;f=saleb_2&amp;s=IH2205THRS\">Click here to subscribe<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
