Samurai Jack, the acclaimed animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky, has been removed from HBO Max, making the show significantly harder for viewers to watch legally. The removal is notable because Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) still owns the property, yet has pulled it from its own flagship streaming service without announcing a new home for it.

Originally airing on Cartoon Network from 2001, the show followed a samurai flung into a dystopian future ruled by the demon Aku, and was praised for its minimalist, action-led storytelling and distinctive visual style. After being cancelled with its story unresolved, it was revived in 2017 for a concluding fifth season. Its disappearance from HBO Max is seen as part of a wider WBD trend of de-prioritising Cartoon Network animation under chief executive David Zaslav, who took over in 2022; Cartoon Network Studios was shut down in 2023. The series can currently only be found via Sling in some regions, the Toku add-on channel, or for free on Adult Swim's website.
