January 1st usually brings with it plenty of big changes when it comes to licensed content and 2022 will be no different. On January 1st, 2022 a huge collection of Disney content via 20th Television will be departing most regions around the globe. Here’s what’s leaving.
In almost all cases, the shows in question have already departed from Netflix in the United States. Most Fox titles notably left Netflix US in 2017 and 2018.
Where will all these shows stream next? Well, in all instances, they’re already streaming in their new homes with that being on Disney+.
Disney+ expanded its lineup in early 2021 with a new tile called Star which is home to all of the shows below and plenty more shows that haven’t made their way onto Netflix.
The key question from a business point of view is whether pulling shows like this will result in new subscribers. That’s unclear but if you’re desperate to watch these shows, that’s what you’ll need to subscribe to going forward.
