A bad week for Paramount Plus just got worse, as 21 shows and a pair of movies just vanished from the streaming service today (June 27). This follows four high-profile cancelations, two of which were also removed before this latest batch of cullings. 

This news comes from TVLine, which focuses on the most high-profile disappearance: Inside Amy Schumer, a sketch comedy series that debuted its fifth season last year. We've yet to see any official news of its cancelation, but it's not difficult to translate this removal as a sign of its ultimate end. 

If you read the full list of removed Paramount Plus shows, you'll likely notice that the service removed a lot of children's content created on Nickelodeon and other platforms. The two removed films, Fantasy Football and Snow Day, also came from Nickelodeon.

Paramount Plus doesn't publish a regular list of content coming and going, so it's possible that some of the below shows are gone as a part of the monthly changes in content that are normal for Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max and more.

Analysis: What's going on in TV?

Just days ago, news broke that four big Paramount Plus shows got struck by the cancelation ax: The Game, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Queen of the Universe and Star Trek: Prodigy. Both 'Pink Ladies' and 'Prodigy' are also no longer available to watch online.

The big message sent to audiences and creators is that there is zero permanence in streaming services. If a show or movie does not have a strong enough audience that gives a service enough reason to house it, it will be deleted. That's why I bought a copy of Station Eleven, a phenomenal single-season HBO series, on 4K Blu-ray.
