That’s exactly what it is. As I said above, a wholly new platform does not cause any issues with Hulu if Comcast decide to sell or Disney force the put/call sale in 2024. And I think too many people were so quick to think ‘Hulu International’ was going to just be the same as what the US despite it being a much more complicated platform with catch up tv, live channels, premium subs and ads as well as the issue of Hulu not owning international rights on their originals... it was always going to be a different beast.
A new platform with a brand they own outright just with content they own outright aligns with Disney Plus quite easily and means they’re going to be very specific about the content they repatriate over the next few years.
Be interested if the U.K. are part of the initial wave given that BBC have the multi year deal for new FX shows and Sky have the deal for 20th Century Studios’ first run movies... those are two big anchors for the platform so interested to see if they go all in sooner or later.
