Providing the licence with Sky has ended or Disney is happy to pay Sky compensation for early termination, then Disney can move its content to Disney +. Apparently, it paid TV platforms $1bn as early termination compensation in its latest accounts.
I imagine all box series from Fox/Hulu/Disney will move to Disney+ in time with only films and pay-per-episode available on other platforms.

And all this is a good indicator that the TV channels are ultimately doomed. Only those making a shedload of their own content will have any chance of survival. But even they are relying more and more on streaming solutions to address these issues.
