Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

On Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger teased when season two of The Mandalorian will debut, and also revealed that the Disney+ series could even launch spinoff shows based on its characters.

During an earnings call, the exec said The Mandalorian will return in October and will run beyond season two, "including the possibility of infusing it with more characters and taking those characters in their own direction in terms of series."

Good article, although I note they are bullish about this in certain countries but not particularly in UK.

I suspect they’re just talking it up to push up the value of the rights.

The example they use of £35 a month in Singapore just because a combined sports offering charges that is fairly speculative - attributing no value to the other content.

Makes you think they don’t see Amazon or anyone buying worldwide rights in the near future though. As for the UK well everyone knows my stance on the challenges of any new entrants - and that would include the league themselves.

Very unlikely to happen in this country.

They'd need everyone in the country to subscribe to the EPL at 20 quid a month and they'd still not make as much money as they are getting now.

Sky and BT overpay massively. They won't want to rock the boat in the UK

They are getting more desperate by the day as one of the great problems for Britbox and there are quite a few is the lack of limited smart TV and streaming device support for it.

They do have classic Doctor Who episodes on there though.;)

Here is a full review of Britbox.
