Morning Show (a comedy-drama series looking at #MeToo, starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon), Dickinson (a series about Emily Dickinson, starring Hailee Steinfeld), Truth Be Told (an adaptation of Kathleen Barber’s novel Are You Sleeping, starring Octavia Spencer, Lizzy Caplan, and Aaron Paul), Oprah’s Book Club (a revival of Oprah’s iconic book club segment from her original talk show), Little America (an anthology series featuring immigrant stories produced by Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, the couple who produced The Big Sick together), Amazing Stories (a reboot of Steven Spielberg’s 1980s fantasy-thriller anthology series) and Servant (a psychological thriller from director M. Night Shymalan, starring Toby Kebbell, Lauren Ambrose and Rupert Grint). With the service’s launch on November 12, Disney will also be releasing many new films and series, including The Mandalorian ( which takes place in the Star Wars universe), a Lady and the Tramp live-action remake, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (a series set at the high school where the High School Musical movies were filmed), Noelle (a movie about Santa Claus’s sister, starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader), Encore! (a docu-series hosted by Kristen Bell about actual high school musicals) and The World According to Jeff Goldblum (a docu-series that follows Goldblum as he explores his biggest curiosities about the world). What does this mean for my other streaming services and TV habits? Because Disney is reclaiming many of its titles for its own streaming services, many Disney (or Disney-owned) titles on other services will likely disappear.
