In addition, new series in the Star Wars universe will meet the audience on the platform. Finally, the series adaptations of the classics like The Mighty Duck and Turner & Hooch will be screened on the digital platform in the coming months. However, in this period when Netflix publishes dozens of new content every month, it is wondered how much new content will be enough for users every few months. We will wait and see if Disney + can achieve its desired growth with a small number of original content.
