Summer Camp Island creator Julia Pott is sharing her disappointment with HBO Max’s decision to pull the series as part of an upcoming content purge in unscripted and animated genres.
“We worked for five years to make 100 episodes of animation,” Pott wrote on Twitter. “We worked late into the night, we let ourselves go, we were a family of hard working artists who wanted to make something beautiful, and HBO Max just pulled them all like we were nothing. Animation is not nothing!”
She also addressed the upcoming final season which was slated for release in 2023. “We worked through the pandemic to make 20 linear episodes that are our most beautiful work yet,” she said. “I cannot wait for you to see them. You Will See Them! I will not rest!”

For Sarah Aubrey, an unintended perk of launching a major streaming service in the middle of a global pandemic is that she got to experience it with her three children.

From there, Aubrey, 48, sampled the platform's cartoons with her 10-year-old son, Frank; and then, to cap off launch day from her Studio City home, she and her 17-year-old daughter, Lucy, took in the controversial #MeToo accuser doc On ...

HBO Max is speeding up the release schedule for one of its debut original series, “Love Life,” which will now drop its entire season over the next two weeks.

Originally, “Love Life” was going to be released on a weekly schedule going forward. HBO Max said the change was due to the “strong positive audience response” to the series.

HBO Max has entered the streaming wars, and WarnerMedia is hedging its bets that the new platform’s massive back catalogue will warrant its premium price tag.
The AT&T-owned company’s new streaming service, which launched earlier today, boasts 10,000 hours of content from AT&T’s numerous brands and franchises, from the DC Extended Universe and CNN to the Turner Classic Movie catalogue and Studio Ghibli films. The platform is also home to the entire HBO catalogue — rejoice, “Game of Thrones” and “Westworld” fans — as well as all eight “Harry Potter” films and every episode of “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory,” which WarnerMedia had previously licensed to competing distributors.

The goal of any new streaming service worth its salt is consolidation. We’ve got a lot of major entertainment conglomerates now and each one of them needs a streaming home to consolidate its content on. With that in mind, WarnerMedia’s HBO Max is undoubtedly the biggest streaming release since Disney+ last year.
When AT&T acquired Time Warner and all its holdings in 2016, the newly-branded WarnerMedia subsidiary needed a place to house thousands of Warner movies, and other series, films, and documentaries from Warner-branded studios like CNN, TNT, TBS, The CW, Adult Swim, and much more. Enter HBO Max. Though HBO Max is named after Warner’s original premier streaming and cable entity in HBO, this is much more than just an “upgraded” version of HBO. HBO Max is the juggernaut WarnerMedia streaming service AT&T promised.
