Streaming is in crisis, which has caused several major media companies to reconsider their strategies in the last few months. Among other things, Warner Bros. Discovery caused a stir with drastic cost-cutting measures. But Disney+ is also affected and had over 30 films and series completely removed from the catalog in May. Now the wave of resignations continues. Two completed projects were scrapped before release.
Disney+ is discontinuing the finished series The Spiderwick Chronicles and Nautilus
The two Disney+ original series The Spiderwick Chronicles and Nautilus are already in production. However, Disney+ will not show them. As Deadline reports, the two series are the latest victims of budget cuts at Disney. But the productions are not lost forever. The production companies involved can now look for a new home for the two series.
