Yes, John Wick is leaving HBO Max at the end of January 2023. The streaming service is removing 70 other titles from its directory.

Following another mass exodus for HBO Max content, the service is losing more of its noteworthy movies, including some of DCs most-loved animated series. Say goodbye to Jurassic Park, John Wick, Justice League, and many more.

Even with a tumultuous 2022 for HBO Max, between canceled originals and removed content, there's still been plenty of amazing films to watch. However, due to regularly scheduled shuffling, sadly, we have to bid farewell to a handful of them.

The platform has been pulling plenty of titles in recent months as it is nearing its next step, merging with Discovery+. And as we will miss our favorite titles, we can hopefully embrace a whole new set of content on the powerhouse service.


John Wick Trilogy Leaving HBO Max

Yes, John Wick movie trilogy is leaving HBO Max on January 31, 2022. John Wick can still be streamed on other services like Peacock and Sling TV.

John Wick is an American neo-noir action thriller film released in 2014. Directed by Chad Stahelski in his feature directional debut, the film stars Keanu Reeves, Alfie Allen, Michael Nyqvist, Dean Winters, Bridget Moynahan, and Ian McShane.

It marks the first installment in the John Wick film series and was followed by John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019), and the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023).

The plot follows a former hitman (the title character) as he tries to locate and hunt the men who broke into his home, killed his dear puppy, and stole his beloved vintage car. The puppy was a last gift from his deceased wife.

Besides HBO Max, the trilogy is available on several other streaming platforms. A subscription to Sling TV, Peacock, and fuboTV will give the user access to all three installments of the film series.

Peacock

Peacock is perhaps the best option to stream all John Wick film series through a free account. Users can also upgrade to a premium account, but they don't need to do that to watch these action thrillers.

With the free account, users will have ads popping up during the films, so keep that in mind. With the Peacock Premium account, that costs $5 per month, users will get access to more content. 

Sling TV

Another streaming service, Sling TV, offers John Wick: Chapter 2. With a Sling Orange or Sling Blue subscription for $35 per month, users will have on-demand access to all three John Wick trilogy.

A new Sling TV subscriber has to pay only $10 in the first month. In addition, users can get both Sling Orange and Sling Blue together for only $50 and can save $20 per month (by subscribing separately).

The third sequel of the series will be released on March 24, 2023

fuboTV

fuboTV subscriber (starting at monthly $60) will have access to live channels and an on-demand library that comprises John Wick: Chapter 2. This is probably your last option to stream the trilogy.

The streaming platform has over 100 channels and 250 hours of DVR space and offers its customers a 7-day free trial before committing.
