Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Zoinks! After more than seven years, Boomerang, the cartoon streaming service from Warner Bros.

Discovery, is shutting down as a standalone service. Boomerang will be shut down next month, and its catalog of shows — including “Scooby-Doo,” “Looney Tunes,” “Tom and Jerry,” “The Flintstones,” “Courage the Cowardly Dog” and more — will become part of Max. “As of September 30, 2024, the Boomerang app and website will no longer be available,” the service says in a notice on its customer website. “Starting September 30, you can watch fan-favorite Boomerang shows alongside Max’s full catalog of iconic series, hit movies, fresh originals, breaking news, and family favorites including ‘The Amazing World of Gumball,’ ‘Teen Titans Go!,’ ‘Lego Batman’ and more!” Boomerang says in the customer notice.

As of next month, most Boomerang subscribers will be migrated to WBD’s Max ad-free tier, retaining their current subscription price for a minimum of six months.

Currently, Boomerang costs $5.99/month, whereas Max With Ads is $9.99/month. According to WBD, the Boomerang TV classic cartoons channel will continue to be available through partner pay-TV providers.
