“Generations” was canceled by HBO Max in late 2021 after one season. In late August of 2022, it was one of the titles that was involuntarily pulled from the streaming service’s catalog in the wake of its goal of combining it with its parent company’s Discovery+.
HBO Max said in a statement at the time, “As we work toward bringing our content catalog together under one platform, we will be making changes to the content offerings available on both HBO Max and Discovery+.” “This will include the removal of some content from both platforms.”
Co-produced by father-daughter duo Daniel and Zelda Barnaz with Lena Dunham as executive producers, “Genra + Ion” is billed as a half-hour dramedy about “a diverse group of high school students”. Whose exploration of modern sexuality (tools and all) tests deeply held beliefs about the nature of life, love, and family in their conservative community. Justice Smith leads the ensemble cast, which also includes Nathania Alexander, Chloe East, Nava Mau, Lukita Maxwell, Haley Sanchez, Yuli Schlesinger, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Chase Sui Wonders and Martha Plimpton.
In mid-December, HBO Max announced once again that it would be removing titles from its platform, affecting previous HBO mainstays such as “Westworld” and fan favorites such as “Love Life” and “Gordita Chronicles.” Days after the news — which disappointed creatives, critics, and fans alike — broke, Warner Bros. Discovery clarified that the series it had pulled from its digital shelves were being streamed via third-party fast services, free, without advertising. -Supported streaming TV will be licensed, including platforms such as Amazon’s Freevee, the Roku Channel and Fox-owned Tubi.
