Disney Plus Content Removal & What Could Happen Next Explained By Industry Insider

An industry insider clearly explains why Disney+ is removing movies and shows from the streaming service. Joining in on the trend that quickly became controversial when HBO Max began cutting content, leaders at Disney announced that more than 40 series and films, including high-profile projects like Willow, will be removed from the platform on May 26. In general terms, the removal is understood to be Disney’s attempt to reduce costs and increase profitability. But there remains confusion about how removing original shows actually accomplishes these goals, and whether the shows could resurface elsewhere.
