HBO Max Cancelled Exclusives Head To Roku & Tubi In New Agreement

Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company behind HBO Max exclusive shows, has agreed to license out cancelled properties to free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels.

Wednesday, HBO Max exclusive shows have been ported to other platforms in a new licensing deal stitched together by Warner Bros. Discovery. What’s worth mentioning is the channels that will now carry former HBO staple television, such as Westworld, are FAST channels that replace the need for a subscription for an ad-based viewing experience. The two platforms mentioned are Tubi and Roku, but there’s no word on whether or not those will be the only FAST platforms to house the cancelled originals.

While HBO Max has seen its content library dwindle over the past few months and receive a critically acclaimed video game adaptation with The Last of Us, this may be parent company Warner Bros. Discovery’s method to re-deliver the cancelled exclusive content without having to re-house them. As of this article, exclusives such as Westworld and Raised By Wolves cant be found on the Warner Bros Discovery streaming service, but the shows can be found on the supported FAST channels Roku and Tubi. A list of categories to be included on Roku and Tubi has been revealed by Variety, and can be seen below.
