This is such an awful trend.

Both Disney+ and Hulu will pull an HBO Max on Friday, May 26, and (not-so-)quietly remove dozens of shows from their respecting streaming libraries.

Disneys chief financial officer, Christine McCarthy, gave a heads-up on the library edit during the companys recent Q1 earnings call, saying, We will be removing certain content from our streaming platforms and currently expect to take an impairment charge or, write-off of approximately $1.5 to $1.8 billion.

It is unclear at this time where the excised titles might wind up. Many of those lost to HBO Maxs own purge landed on FAST (free, ad-supported streaming TV) services such as Tubi and Roku.

Beyond the Friday, May 26 removal of titles including Willow, Big Shot, Dollface and others listed below (via Vulture), Disney is also looking to better curate its production of streaming content.

As we grow the business in terms of the global footprint, Disney CEO Robert Iger said, we realized that we made a lot of content that is not necessarily driving sub growth. And were getting much more surgical about what it is we make.
