Gwendolyn Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Even if they are bleeding money, it makes little sense to me to put all the remaining money into unscripted reality shows.. that's going to make them bleed even more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonizer Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This is going to be a whole sized mess. HBOMax was so good. I don't give two flying fucks about Discovery and their content. I will ONLY subscribe if they have WB Shows, but absolute suicide and the end of streaming, I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamThiem Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I am so confused by this entire situation. I have been enjoying their scripted shows lately. Travesty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizon Flame Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 48 minutes ago, Johnny Jacobs said: So.. A new streaming brand that includes hbo max previous content plus more content from discovery? I really think there is no way they won't release scripted shows. It will be the dumbest move eva.. Im confused. Scripted shows cost money. They’re trying to cut back. Reality crap has always been done on a low budget. This is why the 2000s was full of this crap. They didn’t have to hire actors or writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens with mergers. Discovery bought them, so it’s going to be about Discovery first and foremost. When new people come in they wipe the slate clean by cancelling everything greenlit by the old crew to make way for their own greenlit projects that they can stamp their names on as having been the brains behind the commissioning. It’s going to be a huge disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Wtf at this possibly being real now??? No one f***ing cares about Discovery+. How did they even have enough money to buy HBO Max in the first place? What is going to happen to all of their existing scripted shows? Hope it at least gets moved over to HBO instead of getting completely cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference. So yeah, that will probably be the new strategy. No more HBOMax Original Shows (like Gossip Girl or Hacks), and instead they will focus on making content for the original cable company. Um the self-sabotage if that is the case. Barely anyone watches cable tv anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scripted HBO Max programming that has been renewed survives and is merged to the main HBO. What is main HBO? The cable channel? A new streaming service like the old HBO Go?

Gossip_Boy Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hacks should be safe surely? It’s a critics/awards fave. Plus it fits the HBO brand the most. It’s the only show I’m 100% confident on at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddii_ Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Im pretty sure this is a misunderstanding. They most probably just cut a few things so HBO and Max wont have differences anymore. Idk if HBO max had any stuff for reality shows and unscripted staff. I think these are much more affected by it. Also Discovery bought all of Warner Media. Therefore there are other creative teams all over the company and they pretty sure just want to put everything more together. It would make no sense buying a company for there scripted shows and there big brands and to not keep them. There is no way that HBOMax will only have unscripted shows. Then the merger of both platforms would be illogical. Because the merger is supposed to combine the strengths of both. It will probably be like Disney+ with NatGeo. This is more about restructuring the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
