Disney+ subscribers are likely to see some big changes in their streaming experience soon, as the future of Hulu content is suddenly up in the air. In late 2023, it was announced that The Walt Disney Company was taking full ownership of Hulu, the popular streaming service. Up to that point, it had been jointly owned with NBCUniversal, the media company owned by cable and tech giant Comcast. However, Disney CEO Bob Iger‘s obsession with creating a super-expensive streaming service that includes all of the Mouse’s content seems to have pushed the company into what is now becoming a dangerously untenable business deal.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has parted with his trademark locks as part of a promotional campaign for pay television provider DirecTV. The promotion involves Kittle embracing the “footbald” lifestyle by sporting a bare head — a metaphor to draw consumer awareness to the notion that DirecTV offers its traditional pay TV service without a satellite.

The highly illegal but very popular media streaming site Fmovies and an affiliated network of pirated movie and TV show websites have been shut down. The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), a global coalition of movie studios and entertainment companies including Disney, NBCUniversal and MGM, announced the dismantling of the illegal streaming site, several of its other websites including bflixz, flixtorz, movies7, myflixer and aniwave and its video hosting provider vidsrc.to, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

One of the key reasons why Netflix remains the No. 1 streamer is that it carefully curates its programming to include original series and older shows that were originally shown on cable or broadcast networks. Earlier this year, Netflix added Dexter to its lineup, followed by Lost in July. Now, Prison Break has come to the streamer, and it’s our pick for the one Netflix show that you need to stream this August.

Disney is pulling The Simpsons off of traditional television broadcast and moving to produce subscriber-only streaming episodes of the beloved Fox sitcom. When Disney purchased 21st Century Fox in 2019, it took ownership of notable superhero franchises that Marvel Studios had its eyes on for years, like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. So far, that has paid off with the billion-dollar box office gross of Deadpool & Wolverine, and the Mouse is counting on the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps to do the same.

The Simpsons was originally brought to the screen in the form of short comedy sketches on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987. They garnered enough popularity to get green-lit as a sitcom, which has since become one of the most iconic cartoons ever made. But when did Matt Groening's brainchild ever return to its roots? That would be in 2012's Oscar-nominated The Last Daycare. Then, after a long break, another great short movie was released in 2020.
