It seems Disney might spoil STAR brand soon with no premium content

How can you say that? They have enough Premium content.

Well the date has come as well and it’s 31st Mar ‘23. So high time to look at Disney and their content else no one would be paying the premium they are charging currently.

It's time to get rid of Hotstar. Disney needs to use one app for the entire world like Netflix. Just look at how smooth and bug free Netflix app is. If there is no unique content to differentiate. I don't think we need different app and services on different continents.

Where will we be able to see HBO content post Hotstar?
Any idea?

Surely, A big loss for Disney+Hotstar customers!

AFAIK, Disney is a company which considers streaming as the future, I don't think they are going to back off in the streaming race.IMO, they are not at all interested in reaching a particular milestone through subscribers anymore and that's why they are letting go of these rights even after knowing that it's gonna affect their subscribers count..

It was always bound to happen and that's why its better to have their own contents rather than licensed ones. Disney have even increased gap between Marvel shows also.

Finally, Now, I don't think they are gonna let go of BCCI rights.

HBO shows such as Game of Thrones, Succession, The Wire, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, and many more will no longer be available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.

Disney+ Hotstar to lose HBO shows from March 31

Not sure they will do vanity deals. I don't think BCCI results were profitable for them.
