Paramount+ is the latest streaming service to completely cut shows
"The Real World: Homecoming" and Jordan Peele's "The Twilight Zone" reboot get the axe.
Paramount+ has reportedly joined the trend of streaming platforms removing original shows to cut costs. The Real World: Homecoming, which features the cast of MTV's original reality series from the 1990s, got the hang of it along with six other shows.
Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone reboot, which ran from 2019 to 2020, was also a casualty. Additionally, the streamer removed crime drama Interrogation, anime series The Harper House, comedy No Activity, crime drama Coyote and the black comedy Guilty Party. Parent company Paramount Global has not announced whether it will land elsewhere after its withdrawal.
The cuts follow similar cuts from sister company Showtime, which Paramount will integrate with Paramount+ later this year. (It will then take on the unfortunate rebrand, "Paramount+ with Showtime.") Rival streamer HBO Max recently pulled Westworld, Raised by Wolves, The Time Traveler's Wife and Le Nevers. They will begin appearing this month with ads on a Roku and Tubi channel creatively titled "WB TV Series".
