Overview
- Eric Schrier outlined the plan at Content London, saying Disney+ will chase more British comedies and prioritize adult originals in select markets.
- He told producers that local teams in Europe and Latin America are unlikely to commission kids-and-family shows, which remain with U.S.-based brands.
- Disney Television Studios is delivering roughly 100 series a year across about 20 markets as part of a more targeted international strategy.
- The streamer is leaning on co-productions and content swaps with ITV, Atresmedia, ZDF Studios and Nordisk, signaling that exclusivity is not always required.
- Schrier cited Rivals as a hit, previewed the UK comedy-drama Alice & Steve, urged risk-taking pitches, and pointed to Hulu’s day-after broadcast model as a partnership template.
