Warner Bros. Discovery is shutting down its Boomerang subscription streaming service in September, shifting most of the service's classic animated content to Max.
WBD, in an email sent Thursday to Boomerang consumers, confirmed the shutdown of the service’s app and website as of September 30. Boomerang, which launched in 2017 and retailed at $39.99 per year, offers classic animation from the Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. catalog as well as other family-friendly programming.
