Disney recently canceled Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and Big Shot, indicating big changes in the future content that will be produced at Disney+.
Disney's cancelation of Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and Big Shot hint at significant changes for the company's landmark streaming service, Disney+. After the news that Disney CEO Bob Iger thinks Disney responded poorly to its own success, the cancelation of these two Disney+ shows seems especially revealing. Disney+ began as one of the most successful streaming platforms in 2019 when it used The Mandalorian to market its launch and garner millions of initial subscribers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Disney+'s launch was historical, estimated to have capped 10 million subscribers by the end of its first day of operation. The streaming giant has relied mainly on classic movies and original TV series from its two biggest franchises, Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe , to maintain and grow its subscriber base. Despite the astronomical success it has enjoyed in its first few years, Disney+ recently lost subscribers for the first time.
More shows like Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and Big Shot could be facing the ax in the coming months because of this mindset, which is becoming an industry-wide streaming controversy. These types of one-off original series typically have smaller, more targeted audiences. While they can sometimes perform well, Disney seems to think they are not bringing in enough money to justify spending time and resources.
Why Disney+ Is Set To Go Through Future Changes Disney+ is set to go through changes primarily because of its subscriber issues. Disney seems to be following the logic that if it can attract big dedicated fan bases from major franchises and keep them interested with enough quality content, then it can avoid Disney+ losing so many subscribers again.
Disney's logic is sound, but only time will tell if its strategy will work, especially considering the importance of its recent price hikes. Regardless, there will undoubtedly be some major changes at Disney+ soon, and its recent series cancelations are likely only the beginning. Ultimately, these changes are probably good for fans of Star Wars and the MCU because more money will be spent on maintaining and growing those franchises.
