The great streaming purge continues.
Ahead of a planned merger with Showtime , Paramount+ has removed nine original series from its platform, including The Real World: Homecoming, comedies Guilty Party (starring Kate Beckinsale), No Activity (starring Patrick Brammall and Tim Meadows) and Players , and the live-action children’s show The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder — none of which have been formally cancelled as of press time.
In addition, Paramount+ has scrubbed previously axed series Coyote (starring Michael Chiklis), The Harper House , Interrogation (starring Peter Sarsgaard) and The Twilight Zone (2019).
TVLine has reached out to Paramount+ for comment.
The news comes as Paramount+ and Showtime are set to combine into one shared service later this year, under the name Paramount+ With Showtime. The linear Showtime channel will be rebranded, also as Paramount+ With Showtime, and Showtime content will be available to stream on Paramount+’s ad-free tier (with no add-on needed).
Showtime has also been busy removing titles from its library ahead of the merger. Series no longer available include Jim Carrey’s Kidding , Kirsten Dunst’s On Becoming a God in Central Florida , Jeff Daniels’ American Rust ( which is moving to Amazon’s Freevee for Season 2 ) and recently cancelled duo American Gigolo and Let the Right One In. Interestingly, Season 1 of the business-world anthology Super Pumped , starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, has been removed as well, though the series was previously renewed for a second season that is said to center on the rise of Facebook under Mark Zuckerberg.
