Westworld and other HBO shows headed to Roku and Tubi
By Ariba Bhuvad
HBO canceled Westworld ahead of its fifth and final season. Not only that, but parent company Warner Bros. Discovery removed the show from HBO Max, so there’s no way to stream it on command anymore.

And Westworld isn’t the only show finding a new home. Read on for the full list!
Westworld amongst other HBO content headed to Roku and Tubi
Warner Bros. Discovery has now signed content deals with Roku and Tubi. Tubi, which is owned by Fox, is going to be adding around 225 advertising VOD titles from Warner Bros. Discovery, as well as 14 Warner Bros.-branded FAST channels, including WB TV Reality, WB TV Series and WB TV Family.
This content will include all the seasons of Westworld, Legendary, FBoy Island, The Nevers, Finding Magic Mike and The Time Traveler’s Wife, amongst others. These titles will begin releasing in February.
Roku has also struck a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery and has made plans to create WBD channels for shows such as Westworld and Cake Boss, amongst others. On top of that, there will be around 2,000 hours of on-demand programming. Folks can look forward to these channels being launched on Roku this spring.
