Wondering about every HBO movie and show that got cancelled by the network? Well, we got you covered on the sad news. After announcing its merger with Discovery+ and very visibly tweeting about the difference between the two platforms and why they should merge, the Warner Brothers streaming network is on a streak to cancel some much-talked-about shows and movies.
Since the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia with Discovery, Inc. that gave rise to Warner Bros. Discovery, the merging of HBO Max and Discovery+ has been on the cards for quite some time now, however, it was least expected that this merger would result in the cancellation of some of the titles. Here is a list covering it all.
Every HBO Movie and Show That Got Cancelled in 2022
Batgirl
Batgirl is a film everyone has been hyped about for a while now. Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah from a screenplay by Christina Hodson, the film is supposed to cover the origin story of the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon, who is an important character in the Batman stories. Unfortunately, due to the studio’s cost-cutting measures, the film will no longer be arriving on HBO Max but, will be getting a theatrical release.

Gentleman Jack
A historical drama that everyone has loved and adored. It is created by Sally Wainwright and stars Suranne Jones. After two seasons, the show has been cancelled in July 2022.
Scoob!: Holiday Haunt
A follow-up to the 2020 movie Scoob!, the sequel has been axed by Warner Bros. Directed by Bill Haller and Michael Kurinsky, the film has almost been completed by the makers and was scheduled to release in December 2022 before facing an unfortunate cancellation.
Made for Love
The science fiction black comedy did receive some mixed reviews for the last two seasons but, also did improve itself every time. However, the merger has resulted in Cristin Milioti getting cancelled in June 2022.
Raised by Wolves
A series that is both a critical and commercial hit with critics and fans, alike, Raised by Wolves has a total of two seasons. In June 2022 it was announced that the show will not be retuning with a third season anytime soon.
The Time Traveler’s Wife
One cancellation that recently raged a war was the calling off of the show The Time Traveler’s Wife after a single season. The Steven Moffat series was received poorly by the critics but, fans did love the show that ended on quite the cliffhanger. The news of cancellation came a few weeks after the first season aired.
Close Enough
An enjoyable animated sitcom that is feeling burnt by the merger is Close Enough. After three successful seasons, the show was cancelled by the network on July 15, 2022.
Gordita Chronicles
Even after a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating with only one season, HBO Max has cancelled Gordita Chronicles. After its cancellation on July 29, 2022, Sony Pictures Television is planning to shop the series on some other platform, much like what fans are trying to do for The Time Traveler’s Wife.
Elvis
The 2022 biographical drama fared well with its theatrical release. The film was scheduled to arrive on HBO Max, much like Dune and The Matrix: Resurrections did but, it has been cancelled by HBO Max and will no longer be making an appearance on the streaming platform.
