TOP NEWS STORY OF THE WEEK

Disney+ No Longer Launching Original Shows on Fridays, New Day Revealed https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/disney-plus-original-episodes-wednesday-releases/ Going forward, all Disney+ original TV shows will be debuting on Wednesdays, with new episodes being released on subsequent Wednesdays. With the Disney+ shift becoming official, three of the biggest streaming services on the market now release their originals on three subsequent days. Disney+ will have new originals on Wednesdays, followed by HBO Max originals on Thursdays and Netflix originals on Fridays. This eliminates some competition between the services while also providing subscribers with new movies and TV throughout the second half of each week.
