It has been over a week since Warner Bros. Discovery announced its decision to halt the merger of HBO Max and Discover Plus as one unified platform. Back in late January it was announced via. TVLine that a whole list of previously shelved shows would be accessible through Roku and Tubi for streaming. One of those shows would be Joss Whedon’s The Nevers which will be available to stream on Tubi with six unreleased episodes.

The merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery had profound effects on the shows they both oversaw, and the new company had planned to merge their respective streaming platforms of HBO and Discovery+ into one entity. They shelved many projects last fall to the dismay of viewers. However, it was reported by TVLine that Warner Bros. Discovery had made an exclusive deal with Roku and Tubi to stream previously shelved movies, TV shows, and other franchises. The deal with the Free, Ad-supported Streaming TV (FAST) services include all seasons of Westworld, Raised by Wolves, The Nevers, The Time Traveler’s Wife, Finding Magic Mike, Head of the Class, Legendary, and F-Boy Island. Tubi now has exclusive streaming rights to the short-lived teen drama Genera+ion, which released Feb. 1.

According to TVLine, The deal between Warner Bros. Discovery, Roku, and Tubi are part of the FAST services offer that will re-release “hundreds of TV series and movies” as well as Discovery’s previously owned properties like Cake Boss, My Cat from Hell, Breaking Amish, Caribbean Life, How It’s Made, Paranormal Lockdown, The Tomorrow People, and My Five Wives, as well as select seasons of the reality TV shows The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise.

The most interesting case of all revolves around Joss Whedon’s show, The Nevers. The Sci-fi Fantasy Drama began streaming on HBO Max on April 11th, 2021 and was produced by HBO and Mutant Enemy Productions with executive producers including Whedon (The Avengers, Much Ado About Nothing), Philippa Goslett (Little Ashes, Mary Magdalene), Doug Petrie (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Defenders), Jane Espenson (Game of Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ilene S. Landress (The Sopranos, Girls), and Bernadette Caulfield (The X-Files, Game of Thrones).

The plot of The Nevers goes as follows: “In the final years of Queen Victoria’s reign, London is rocked by a supernatural event that gives certain people–mostly women–abnormal abilities. But no matter their particular “turns,” all who belong to this new underclass are in grave danger. It falls to quick-fisted widow Amalia True and brilliant young inventor Penance Adair to protect and shelter these gifted “orphans.”

The main cast stars Laura Donelly (The Ferryman, Outlander) and Ann Skelly (Kissing Candice, Death and Nightingales) along with Olivia Williams (Emma, The Crown), James Norton (Happy Valley, Grantchester), Tom Riley (Da Vinci’s Demons, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window), Rochelle Neil (Terminator: Dark Fate, Das Boot), Eleanor Tomlinson (Angus, Jack the Giant Slayer), Amy Manson (Torchwood, Casualty), Pip Torrens (The Crown, The Preacher), Denis O’Hare (Dallas Buyers Club, Garden State), Zackary Momoh (Seven Seconds, No Offense), Elizabeth Berrington (Waterloo Road, Stella), Kiran Sawar (Murdered by My Father, Crocodile), Anna Devlin (Hanna, Monkeys), Viola Prettejohn (The Witcher, Never Let Me Go), Ella Smith (Ray & Liz, The Voices), Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, The World’s End), and Ben Chaplin (The Thin Red Line, The Truth About Cats & Dogs). 

The show released with only the first six episodes being releaesd on HBO Max. Many liked the show with an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.4/10 on IMDb. It along with other recognizable HBO shows were shelved and taken off of HBO Max in the fall of 2022 according to Deadline. This co-executive deal from the company is a reworking of analytics and part of a deal to send off these shows and movies somewhere else. Now that The Nevers would be streaming on Tubi, it would give many viewers the opportunity to catch up with the series and so much more.

In an exclusive interview with TVLine, Goslett speaks on the series’ new home on Tubi and some interesting developments of the series with the inclusion of the six never before seen episodes: “The new episodes will continue with many of the storylines set up in the first half of the show (which will also be streaming on Tubi), so a rewatch of those would be ideal. But Episode seven will ease you in to some degree. After all, Amalia did promise to tell the orphans the truth about “everything” … for better or for worse.”
