Makes sense since they are the 2 big things for October.

I can't get it to play on my device, just shows suggested and details.
where the hell can I watch What We Do In the Shadows S2 & 3 in Canada? Thought at least S2 would be up on Star by now.
What We Do in the Shadows - streaming online
Is Netflix, Amazon, Fandor, etc. streaming What We Do in the Shadows? Find where to watch online!

Make it stop already.
Golden Girls is fab. A great addition to D+
No idea what they're waiting on. I suppose it could come tomorrow. But otherwise, yeah, next week.
Such blatant plagiarism, wow. AND they got details wrong :/ I HATE when companies steal from artists with a "yup, I made this".
Going to apologize for double post, but I discovered something relevant. For those unaware (and asking why it isn't on D+), Doogie Howser M.D. has been on Hulu. It expires at the end of the month. I imagine it transfers to D+ next month. Makes way too much sense too with the new show airing.
My theory is the schedule was delayed because Disney didn't want to say when Shang-Chi goes to D+ until it got three weekends in theaters. My guess is we may need to expect a similar delay in November when Eternals is out.

So next week? I assume it's gonna be a thing from here on out.
That's dumb on their part. They should just exclude it from the schedule then announce later.
Absolutely disgusting.
It seems doubtful, but I hope he can somehow get compensation.
Make sense.
Especially if it's not going to be a Premier Access 🤔
No, it's currently going through pre-existing contracts. Only the lawyers know.
We'll see if it's on the October schedule or not.

They're promoting trailers shown that day.
Also hopefully NOW we get October 2021 schedule today or tomorrow since this has been announced.
The interesting thing is that Chapek confirmed it to be an annual event as some of us expected. Presumably other parts of the company like parks, merchandise, and theatrical releases will get the focus on D23 (which they might make it an annual thing) or Investors Day (which may replace D23 or more likely not come back).
Considering part of the Star Wars event is about the past and legacy of Boba Fett, there will at least be a Book of Boba Fett trailer there. Wouldn't be surprised to see some new SW shows announced, too.
That's a given. There'll be a final trailer for Hawkeye too. Probably a sizzle reel of other Marvel shows already filming or in post (She Hulk, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel, Secret Invasion). Same for SW (i.e. Andor and OWK). They may also get an individual trailer, but the focus will be on the ones releasing soon. Plenty of new shows/movies will be announced from all their studios as well (for the service, not theatrical).
If you remember after Investor's Day Disney stock jumped almost 10%. There's a reason Disney execs made this an annual thing.
Yes. It'll be similar to the Investor's Day event. Probably 2-3 hours. Interesting that they are doing this over Disney+ though.
Yeah, Investor Day made waves. I imagine there will be some big stuff here.
Marvel Studios showed four full trailers on the last Investor Day though. Three of those were first trailers. Sure, this was the big launch of Marvel content on D+ 'after' Covid, but still... So, I'm hoping for quite a bit more than just a sizzle reel for the post-Hawkeye shows. First trailer for Ms. Marvel, and perhaps something more tease-y or bts-y for She-Hulk and Moon Knight. Perhaps also something for I Am Groot? Plus, like you said, announcements galore.
You thought that because of the 45 day window. Disney pushed it to Investor Day 2.0 to beef up content for the big event day, with the added bonus of consumers being unable to predict when movies will regularly drop.
Unrelated, I just realized Frozen Fever is being added because the WDAS Shorts collection is leaving Netflix in October. That means Tangled Forever After should be on the way in the near future to D+ as well.
All the shorts are, they were in the Disney Shorts collection from 2014?
Other than maybe the Mickey Mouse short. I think. Might be wrong.
You're not the only one from how they phrased it. I guess really speaking they never said movies would be on Disney+ after 45 days, just that they would be exclusive to cinemas for 45 days - I'd imagine it would be available on digital store fronts and physical media after 45 days to make up for the extra 25 days between then and it's Disney+ launch.
UK/Ireland Disney+ schedule went up. I'm hoping that means the US one will soon.
UK people are getting Logan next month because of Star+ content.

Wonder what the chances are for Logan to hit Disney Plus in NA/USA.
It'll be weird seeing Logan on Hulu but the rest of the X-Men on Disney Plus
Speaking of which...still waiting for First Class.
I want to say not until Hulu merges with D+, but who knows. Technically parental controls are available for the US, so if they ever wanted to, they could add it as an exception to no R rated content along with Deadpool 1 & 2. But there might also be existing licensing deals in play too that Disney needs to wait out
Maybe a bit off topic, but the whole France thing is fascinating to me. And now some cable and broadcast channels are complaining there because they want an exclusivity window to show the movies too, even after the movie can finally go to streaming. Disney is supposedly thinking of bypassing the movie theater experience in France altogether to bypass this roadblock. That rumor has gotten the cinema industry there worried. I hope they can all come to a compromise.
Also a bit off topic but I don't see Hulu ever merging with Disney+. Disney is not gonna pay 10B to Comcast to just have Hulu as a 6th tile in the US. Hulu has a very healthy $13 ARPU and it's the number 1 MVPD platform with $70+ (maybe $80+) ARPU. Disney wasn't planning to have Hulu be profitable until after 2024 and it was profitable this quarter by complete accident. That's the reason they probably accelerated dumping all the Hotstar content on it (increasing expenses). That's also a big part of the reason Roberts and Comcast are so upset with them, because Disney is purposefully stifling Hulu's growth right now. Disney also can't bring Star to the US yet because both Star and Hulu are not yet mature enough with original content on their own. Doing such a move now would dilute the Hulu brand.
No insider info, but my guess is post pandemic, post CMCSA settlement Disney will bring Star to the US and Latin America as a sixth tile. The way to differentiate the two is to have Star producing its own originals and being home to Fox, Marvel, and other Disney owned mature content. Hulu produce its own originals and licensing 3rd party content (i.e. Sony, Lionsgate, A24, Universal (they still license post Peacock), etc). The originals will cross over and be available on both platforms, presumably after each season ends. FX on Hulu next day will be only on Hulu with the whole season made available on Star afterwards. Hulu will also be home to Live TV and having a low entry point streaming app that's ad supported. Disney has been resistant to add that to Disney+ and with good reason. You know what Disney would love more than one $15+ ARPU with 20%+ profit margins? Having two of them. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Hulu model and brand expand overseas (like it was originally intended) post CMCSA settlement.
Again, just a guess and Chapek has said all these different strategies are teaching them a lot. He mentioned multiple times we are in the first inning of the first game of a very long season, so I expect a lot to happen in the streaming world in these coming years as it starts to take shape. They'll eventually find their long term footing. Even ESPN+ will get tiers and whatnot (as hinted by Iger before).
What are the chances of Hulu and D+ to merge anytime soon? I dont see that happening especially since Hotstar (a 75 mil+ sub service) is closing down and merging with Hulu - no way they will merge with D+ unless they beef up the price.
It's more likely Hulu gets rebranded as Star+ like in Latin America, or vice versa.
What are you watching it on? I've had no problem on my iPhone or PS4 (wired).
