HBO Max To Cease Producing Scripted Series
HBO Max’s big merger with Discovery + has come uncertainty for many shows and creators as the company pivots in a new direction. The first Afro-Latina Batgirl has already become a casualty, with Warner Brothers permanently shelving the near-completed superhero project indefinitely, and also quietly pulling 6 other films produced as HBO Max original films, including The Witches starring Octavia Spencer and Chris Rock, Charm City Kings starring Jahi Di’Allo Winston, William Catlett, and Meek Mill, and Locked Down starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ann Hathaway.
