Disney stuck a deal with Comcast. The change is immediate and within five years Disney will buy out their shares of Hulu for $5.8 billion.
The mouse quest to buy the world continues.
Then Amazon will buy Disney and Jeff Bezos will ascend to godhood.
Odd.
Wasn't it reported that Disney is billions in the hole starting their Disney plus streaming service to compete with Netflix? Now they by out Hulu?
Why?
They got majority stock control with the Fox merger and just made a deal with Comcast to officially run Hulu and the actual buyout won't be for 5 years. I think since the merger was announced it was assumed this would happen and Hulu would be home for Disney's R rated material just surprised Comcast made it so easy given their previous bad blood.
Smart move by Comcast, they are getting billions for something they had no control over. ComcastNBCUniversal is also starting their own streaming service next year.
Damn, I was halfway through an article on this and I was acquired by Disney.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

Waiting for the day that Disney usurps all nations.
Comcast only controlled 30% of Hulu honestly. They were in a spot because they failed at getting Fox and that other 30% of Hulu. They had to make this deal basically since they admitted they were gonna start their own streaming network (way behind CBS and everyone else). Disney will now control 3 streaming networks (its clear they steer Hulu already in a sense since they have a 60% stake) so they pretty much know where content is going.

Well, if Disney+ does not run well, they have the backbone of a stronger streaming service to break and use as they see fit.

Well, I for one welcome our Disney Overlords and pledge my loyalty with their conquering efforts. Sing our anthem with me:

It's a small, small world.
