The West Wing temporarily removed from Max but set to return Wednesday

The West Wing was temporarily removed from the Max streaming service due to low viewership over the holidays. The decision was made as part of a cost-cutting evaluation, but it was not initially communicated to leadership. After discussions, it was decided that the series would return to the platform on Wednesday. All seven seasons will be available again for viewers. The show recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, with cast members participating in events, including a book release. Creator Aaron Sorkin noted challenges in portraying reasonable political opposition in today's climate.
