Disney Plans Expansion into Vertical Video and Creator Content for Streaming Services
According to a leaked internal slide deck reported by Business Insider, The Walt Disney Company is shifting its streaming strategy to include more short-form content. Key initiatives involve adding approximately 500 new vertical video clips daily and introducing creator-led content in early 2027. The company's roadmap also includes the ongoing integration of Hulu into Disney+, alongside plans to introduce micro-dramas, sports, and news clips on a quarterly basis. These updates aim to diversify content types and potentially support a free tier or 'always-on' channel model to increase user engagement.
