Final week, Disney revealed in an earnings name that it could start to take away programming from a few of its streaming companies as a cost-cutting measure, and the primary impacted exhibits have been revealed. Sadly, the record consists of Willow, the excellent but criminally under-watched sequel show which debuted only a few months in the past.

Vulture broke the information of the departures that are apparently taking place subsequent week on Might 26. The location additionally posted this list of among the exhibits which are being eliminated:
