It’s possible but someone would have to cancel the rights deal with WBD.
WBD may be happy to end the deal to save money but Disney or Doctor Who producers may not want to pay extra since they’re getting it regardless.
Disney shared rights for Fox movies with HBO so it makes sense they will do that with this barring no further news.

That wouldn’t be unusual.
I’m assuming they think collusion is an issue.
We learned a while back that if we wanted live tv it was better to just get cable since they have streaming apps.
I don’t quite understand the reason for live-streaming tv even being a thing.

Unless HBO Max’s rights were bought it should still have season 14 if that’s what it is supposed to have.
The Disney deal is replacing first run rights so BBC America loses that and HBO Max should still get it after the season is over.

I think it has this upcoming season and then it switched, but it’s not day and date.

They’re probably co-productions with toy manufacturers.

Law and Order would be a pretty king continuous chain.
All in the a family for spin-offs imo
Happy Days may be close

I think it would work as a combo with Adulthood Rights Dawn would come across as slow even though reading it is fascinating to me) but the ship would be tough to explain.

For example, I grew up on a narrative of Thomas Jefferson being in love with his slave Sally Henming and that romance tends to crossover to to other interracial slave based relationships.
Wild Seed likewise shows what happens when black people actually have the power to change a systemic circumstance.
It’s interesting to see slavery in the context of fantasy or sci-if and Butler makes it feel natural.
Underground Railroad does a great job at it too but that story has nothing to do Butler.

It’s part of a series but it’s best to think of it as an anthology as the series covers centuries.
The first book is about two beings with different powers getting together and forming essentially a community and super race.
One of them is clearly a bad guy and the power is cool and scary.
What I love about it, along with Kindred, is that they both change the perspective on the slave narrative from what we typically see.

I thought it was weird they delayed the release.
I’m completely out of the demographic of Royal watchers, but think the Crown is one of the best dramas ever on Netflix.
I guess it helps that I consider it fictionalized anyway.
It’s more interesting than the Royal Family.

I watch far more streaming on the service than I do shop.
If all I used Prime for was shopping I would be paying monthly for it.

Their cloud services are what dragged the stock down. It made less profit than before.
Whether steaming makes them money or not is irrelevant if Wall Street factors that into the price which they do and they had a good quarter on the streaming side.

I was lost so much on the side stories I just focused on the crime aspects.

Not to mention his career defining turn as Hawkman in Black Adam.
That role is sure to go places…

I just finished it a few weeks ago.
The close captioning for the third season for some reason was absolutely atrocious. I had never seen so many mistakes and I watch anime lol.

Right but those apps are available on regular cable too.
It just doesn’t seem to be the cheaper option anymore.
