Netflix is not the only platform that Disney is reaching out to. Earlier this year the company announced its deal with ITV X, where three Disney Plus exclusive shows including Andrew Garfield’s Under the Banner of Heaven, will soon be available to stream for free on the UK site.

This is all part of Disney’s shift in strategy proposed by boss Iger. Since his return to the company, Iger has been more than keen on distributing movies in theaters and licensing TV shows across multiple platforms, rather than hoarding them on one site. 

But not to worry, Disney Plus will remain full of exclusive content, as Iger mentioned during November's earnings call, the company will not license core brands from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, or Star Wars to other streaming sites. So if you’re waiting for Marvel’s upcoming Agatha series or The Mandalorian season 4, you’ll have to hang onto that Disney Plus subscription.
