Disney's Streaming Platform
Drama
Streamer Disney+ isn't particularly known as a destination for British programming, especially in America, where anything that isn't Marvel, Star Wars, or overt family-friendly fare is almost immediately ported over to sister site Hulu rather than housed on its primary app. But with the two services

Even the best of reigns must eventually end. Unfortunately, such is apparently the case with Hulu's satirical period drama The Great, which has been unceremoniously canceled by the streamer after three seasons. Billed as an occasionally true story of the life of Russian Empress Catherine the Great, the
FX
FX's decision to hop on the reality train with Disney+ UK to produce Welcome to Wrexham is one of the more oddball decisions out of the streaming era, but not the worst one by far. Ted Lasso's sudden popularity in 2020 made the idea of Americans
Doctor Who
The “Barbinheimer” phenomenon may seem like a promotional crossover for the ages, but Doctor Who fans know that the most significant crossover in the galaxy is Barbie and Doctor Who (Doctor Barbie? Barbie Who?), spurred by Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s role in Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster. The crossover

Although Doctor Who's 14th season technically won't air until 2024 — we've still got to get through the three-part 60th-anniversary celebration in November and the forthcoming festive special that will technically serve as the start of the Ncuti Gatwa era — news about the upcoming slate
Doctor Who

Doctor Who
Although we’re still months away from Doctor Who’s sixtieth-anniversary celebration later this year and several more beyond that from the first full season with Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor (whatever number they end up calling him), the folks behind the scenes are not wasting any time getting fans excited

The Clearing opens in isolation: A lone woman in a lake, disappearing below the water’s surface — a young girl walking home from school on a deserted country road. Even without reading the first episode’s summary, it is clear from the moment Sara (Lily LaTorre) engages with Amy (Julia

Since Disney first fired the opening salvo against Netflix in 2017, announcing plans to pull all its content and create its own streaming service, expansion has been the order of the day. More single-production network streaming services, more content (both old and new), and more apps for consumers to download

In what may be the biggest sign the Bridgerton effect is changing the types of shows made for streaming, Disney+’s UK arm plunked down for a high-end adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s best-selling 1988 novel Rivals, the second in her Rutshire Chronicles series. Spanning ten books published between 1986

As a society, we remain fascinated by the idea of cults. After all, a lot of the most famous groups — Heaven's Gate, the Ragneeshees, the People's Temple, the Children of God, even the Manson Family — are stories steeped in violence, misogyny, and outright weirdness, or even,
