Disney+ has become a necessary streaming service that people must pay for in order to watch all of the classic and new shows that Disney appears to be pumping out by the dozens. Hulu is in the same boat. While not all of these shows are masterpieces, there are some gems in the rough that people enjoy watching. However, your favourite diamond in the rough might not be there in a few months.
It has become clear that many streaming services are restructuring their framework, which includes purging a large portion of their backcatalog. Disney+ was once referred to as a “vault for everything Disney,” but that does not appear to be the case any longer. While the list that has been released and is still being updated only includes short-lived series, specials, and direct-to-streaming movies, there are some gems in there that people are sad to see go.
The content purge was announced on May 10 during a Disney earnings call.
We are in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation.
