The list features to a great extent brief series, specials and direct-to-streaming films.
During the most recent Disney earnings call on May 10, the move, which comes with a content impairment charge of $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, was announced.
CFO Christine McCarthy stated, “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.” There were no specifics about the content that would be removed at the time.
