Discovery+ is the new home for CNN originals following CNN+ shutdown<p>The
short life of CNN+ left its parent network without an official home for original shows, but the broadcaster now appears to have a makeshift solution. Discovery+ has
launched 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 "months to come," 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+ 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 (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>
