HBO Max to Remove Some Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop Titles!

The list includes the Sesame Workshop HBO Max Originals Esme & Roy, The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo and an unspecified “select group of Sesame Street specials.

A spokesperson for HBO Max attributed the decision to the pending merge of the platform with Discovery+, which is also owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.

“As 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+,” HBO Max’s statement reads. “That will include the removal of some content from both platforms.”

It is currently unclear whether they will be made available on DVD or rental services, or if their removal will result in them becoming completely inaccessible.
