Several of HBO Max's originals will be leaving the company's streaming platform in November 2025. The addition and removal of content is a common practice on streaming services, as companies negotiate new licensing deals with studio partners. Originals would typically be considered permanent additions to a studio's streaming service, as it owns all the rights. However, a more recent practice has seen the likes of Disney and HBO remove their own content.
As part of Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max is well-known for its original content, which includes branded IP such as Peacemaker, The Last of Us, and House of the Dragon, as well as original series like The White Lotus and Task. This content will typically remain strictly on HBO services to entice subscribers. However, some HBO originals have been removed over the years, either being taken off the board entirely or having their streaming rights sold to other distributors. Warner Bros. Discover executive Gunnar Wiedenfels explained the reasoning behind HBO's removals of movies and shows as "[rectifying] a lot of content exuberance."
As is standard practice, several licensed titles will be steadily removed from the HBO Max platform in the U.S. in November. However, the streamer is also moving to purge a handful of its own HBO titles, and it's unclear when or where they will be available to stream next.
HBO Max Is Removing These Originals in November 2025
Arthur's Law
Arthur's Law is a German dark comedy series about an unemployed man, Arthur Ahnepol, who sets off a chain of unlucky events when he decides he wants his obnoxious wife to die.
