The DC Universe streaming service was hit with major layoffs on Monday.

The DC Universe streaming service launched in September 2018 as a hub for DC Comics fans that offered original content. Nearly two years later, the platform seems to be struggling to survive.

Ahead of Max's launch, Business Insider reported in May that some DCU insiders felt it wasn't a priority for WarnerMedia. Sources close to the platform expressed uncertainty about its future, including two former employees of Warner Bros. Digital Labs, a product unit that works on the company's streaming services. They cited that uncertainty as a main reason for why they left.

"Doom Patrol," formerly a DC Universe exclusive series, is available on both platforms and season two was touted as both a DCU and a Max original. The animated"Harley Quinn" TV series is now available to stream on both DCU and Max, as well.
