Per Variety, HBO Max previously was home to about 650 total Sesame Street episodes, including from Seasons 2 through 4.
By removing series and movies from its library, HBO Max no longer has to pay licensing fees for them.
Earlier this month, HBO Max also removed several HBO original series, including Camping, Mrs. Fletcher, Here and Now, Run and Vinyl.
As part of HBO Max’s ongoing, wide-ranging and apparently merciless purging of many library tiles — all as part of WarnerBros. Discovery’s ambitious plan to winnow down $3 billion (with a B) in debt — nearly 200 Sesame Street episodes have been pulled from the streamer.
