Discovery+ is the new home for CNN originals following CNN+ shutdown

<p>The short life of CNN+ (https://www.engadget.com/cnn-plus-shutting-down-warner-bros-discovery-155908886.html) left its parent network without an official home for original shows, but the broadcaster now appears to have a makeshift solution. Discovery+ has launched (https://wbd.com/cnn-originals-hub-launches-on-discovery/) a CNN Originals hub that offers more than 800 episodes of library material, including Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, HLN's Vengeance lineup and movies like Race for the Vaccine. Some originals will come to the service after their runs on cable, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) said.</p><p>The hub is available through the Discovery+ website and apps for all supported platforms. More show announcements are due in the &quot;months to come,&quot; WBD said.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Discovery+ won't be a go-to source for all of CNN's on-demand material. The CNN+ show Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? is coming to HBO Max this fall, for instance. However, this does make Discovery+ a more compelling subscription if its existing batch of reality shows and documentaries wasn't enough.</p><p>This situation won't last for long. WBD plans to merge HBO Max and Discovery+ (https://www.engadget.com/hbo-max-discovery-earnings-call-second-quarter-010400473.html) in summer 2023, so you'll likely have access to a unified CNN catalog within a year. Whether or not it includes everything you're looking for is another matter. HBO Max is pulling some shows (https://www.engadget.com/hbo-max-removing-shows-discovery-plus-203029015.html) (including some with unreleased seasons) as part of WBD's broader cost-cutting efforts, and it's not clear if CNN productions are exempt from this strategy.</p>
