Just on the front page of fox alone they mention these shows:

The mentalist- Not on disney plus
Gang related- not on disney plus
American Dad- On disney plus
Family guy- on disney plus
The walking dead- not on disney plus
NCIS- not on disney plus (on amazon prime)
Bull- not on disney plus
NCIS New Orleans (not on disney plus)
NCIS is already on CH5/CBS channels, who are the makers of this show and no doubt the spin offs will follow soon. Same with Bull.

Mentalist is made by Warner originally for CBS and will probably pop up on Discovery+ once the Warner/Discovery merger completes next year.

Gang Related is a old Fox show, so no reason why it shouldn't appear on Disney+ at some point.


No idea about Walking Dead which is finishing anyway. Depends who ultimately buys AMC, the maker of the show.

With Disney closing all its linear channels down, it will just accelerate the process of media companies bringing back their own shows to their own services, rather than being licensed out to competitors.
