HBO Max has delayed the debut of Gary Janetti’s animated series “The Prince” following the April death of Prince Philip.
“We were saddened to learn of Prince Philip’s passing and will adjust plans for the series debut,” a spokesperson for HBO Max said in a statement. “A new date will be announced at a later time.”
Technically, there was no date set — at least not publicly — though the cartoon was expected to bow in late spring. But days before Philip’s passing, Janetti posted a teaser to Instagram stating his streaming series was “coming soon.”
