    One exception being Marvel's Runaways season 2, which dropped all in the same day. So, I guess the actual answer to the question would be "a little from column A and a little from column b".

    It's not going be in the Live TV section, all of their original series are available to all tiers. Whether or not something is in the Live TV stuff is based on the network it's on.

    Since Hulu isn't available in the UK, I'm curious where it'll end up here.

    Which network carried it there? A change of networks here doesn't alter the contracts other networks had outside America. The network that already had it, should be the one to continue offering it.

    The old contracts are probably null?

    Look at preexisting relationships.

    Hulu makes Harlots with ITV, where it airs on ITV Encore.

    ^ But it's the studio that owns and produces the show, that's responsible for selling it to various outlets beyond the originating country. And those contracts shouldn't be nullified because the show gets shunted from one network to another at home.

    If Hulu bought the global distribution rights, then they have the global distribution rights

    TV and streaming used to be different, but they seem more muddled up now.

    They would have spent it on paper straws and vintage clothing. This is money better used. Jason

    I would bet that in absence of existing contracts, Disney + will become Hulu International

    From their releases so far, it seems like the intent is Disney+ is Disney Family, Hulu is Disney Adult.

    Hmm, wonder if these guys were among the Orville fans who dogged DSC for not being "good" enough to warrant a spot on CBS's network schedule.

    And ironically, most of the reasons they're listing as to why the move to streaming is a good thing for Orv, are the same reasons DSC fans listed as to why streaming was a good thing for Star Trek.

    For any Orv fans who are reluctant to buy Hulu, I highly recommend it. I love that Trek is on a streaming service. No worrying about weekly ratings or how other shows in the same time slot are doing.

    But what's really going to be funny is watching all the Orv fans who used to trash the Parrot streaming ratings (that always showed DSC doing well}, suddenly find them oh so credible now -- I mean assuming Orv does okay on Hulu.

    On behalf of DSC fans, may I say,"told ja". :)

    Couldn't tell ya.

    Yes, now if only CBS was making Star Trek instead of Discovery...

    I'm sure it will do fine. You know...cause it's actually good.

    On behalf of Orville fans who already subscribed to Hulu before this news, we didn't need your input.

    Yes, but Hulu is a U.S. based only network. Outside of the U.S. shows that air on Hulu, air either on local television stations or local streaming services.

    This will proably change now that Disney owns Hulu. Jason

    If it does, it means that Hulu would move to the Netflix model where shows change depending on your country. When I was in Africa, even some Netflix originals were not available because the distribution rights were owned locally.

    I just found out that Halston Sage got a new gig, she's the main character's sister in the new Fox mystery series, Prodigal Son.

    Looks like the third issue of Orville has appeared. Like the first two, the art is great and the dialogue all rings true. In this one, the story concerns some unexpected side effects of that information brought back by Ed and Gordon from the Krill ship.

    Cool. I wonder if they could get him to write an episode or two?
