HBO Max Pulls Almost All Scooby‑Doo Right Before Halloween — Where to Stream or Buy the Missing Episodes

HBO Max has removed most Scooby-Doo programming from its library ahead of Halloween, leaving only a handful of titles on the platform while other services pick up some shows and movies.

- What changed: Many classic series and most one-off Scooby movies were removed from HBO Max.
- What remains on HBO Max: The 2022 DTV movie Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! and the 2020 feature Scoob! remain available.

Where to watch instead: Netflix added 2010’s Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, Tubi picked up three classic series for free with ads, and rental options are available on Amazon and Fandango.
Community help: Fans collected rental and purchase links, and a Reddit thread points to a fan-compiled guide for a complete collection.

What HBO Max removed

HBO Max removed a large portion of its Scooby-Doo catalog, including older series such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, and more recent entries like Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? In addition, almost all one-off direct-to-video movies were taken down.

However, the platform still lists the 2022 DTV movie Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! and the feature film Scoob!. Therefore, the removal is partial rather than complete.

Where you can still watch Scooby-Doo

Netflix recently added the 2010 series Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated to its lineup, providing at least one serialized option for subscribers. Meanwhile, Tubi has acquired three classic Scooby series for free streaming with ads.

In addition, individual series and movies are available for rental or purchase on platforms such as Amazon and Fandango. Fans on Reddit and a community guide have cataloged where to rent or buy many of the missing entries.

Community guide and Reddit thread

The Scooby-Doo subreddit collected links and information about the removals and where to find replacements; see the discussion on the Scooby-Doo subreddit.

Additionally, a fan-compiled guide lists rental and purchase options across services; you can consult the fan guide for details.

Other notes on titles and availability

The removal includes many episodes and movies that had been part of HBO Max’s retro animation offerings alongside properties like Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes. Consequently, viewers looking for a comprehensive Scooby collection on a single streaming service will now find gaps.

Some physical-media options remain for collectors, and rentals typically cost a few dollars per title. Thus, viewers can still legally access most Scooby content, but it may require multiple services or purchases.

Future projects and company response

Warner Bros. has a deal to produce a live-action Scooby series for Netflix, developed by the team behind Riverdale. This new project was brokered independently of the recent streaming catalog changes.

Finally, news outlets have reached out to Warner Bros. for comment on the license and the removals; no public statement explaining the catalog change was available at the time of reporting.
