Anyone that’s paid attention to HBO Max over the past few months will know the streaming service has been pulling a bunch of content — including a recent purge of classic animation. Unfortunately, it seems Paramount Plus is now following that example, having booted seven shows from its catalogue.

According to a report from Deadline, Paramount has pulled Real World: Homecoming, Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone reboot, Interrogation (starring Peter Sarsgaard), Coyote (starring Michael Chiklis) comedy series No Activity, Guilty Party (starring Kate Beckinsale) and animated series The Harper House.

No reason has been given for this removal, so it’s unclear what Paramount is planning on doing with the shows in question. But, unlike HBO Max, they all seem to be fairly low-profile offerings. That’s in contrast to HBO Max which has removed shows like Westworld, Raised by Wolves, The Flintstones, Justice League Unlimited and more.

It’s not clear what’s going to happen going forward, and if Paramount will continue pulling shows with the goal of either burying them or selling them on. Now the ball has got rolling, don’t be surprised if it happens again — even if it is some time before we find out whether this stuff is getting a new home or not.
