Programs on the block (including movies like Shazam! and Ready Player One and series like Wipeout) are frequently rated TV-14 and often contain violence, language, and sexual content uncommon for a kids network. The block plans on having original films produced, as well as reruns of upcoming HBO Max series like Batman: Caped Crusader and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal.
