I was more than 100% sure they will delete it, that's why I attached the screenshot as well

What a confusing social media handling team Jio Star has got

Seems like a lot of Disney Owned general entertainment content from 20th Television which generally streams along with USA is no longer streaming as expected. Also, same with some of the international English content as well

I have noticed this with the following series.

• The Great North (New Season Not Premiered)
• Will Trent (New Season Not Premiered)
• High Potential (Not Premiered along with US)
• Shifting Gears (Not Premiered along with US)
• The Clearing ( Never Premiered)
• Culprits
• Last Days of Space Age

Not even a single Disney Channel Shows properly streams on Hotstar like they do in other courtries.
Even the Wizards Beyond waverly place episodes are not being streamed as per the schedule. Hopefully, it won't affect any of the FX series.

There are multiple other series from 20th and ABC Studios that are entirely removed from the service like Kindred, Candy, Single Drunk Female etc.

Ps. There might be more, but these are what I had noticed while surfing the app. I don't believe Disney+ in other countries ever removes stuff unless its a tax write-off like they did couple of years back. Lets see how bad it will be under Jio Star now.

Even Japenese Disney shows are not streaming simulcast anime shows like Medalist, Ishura 2nd Season, while they also dropped some of the great Disney owned Anime series titles - like Summer Time Rendering, Heavenly Delusions, Bleach TYBW and Black Clover etc.

This was their pre-2019 practice.

Only after COVID, most of their shows premiered along with the US.

Pre Disney Era, All the Fox and FX shows were streaming along with US. Apart from the Adult Animated shows ie., Simpsons, Family Guy and Bobs Burgers. During that time, they had a lot more collections till 2019 like most of the legacy shows like Futurama, X-Files which were removed in early 2019 and were never brought back.

Now they will have to pay the licensing fee again to Disney for it's content which is why probably they are getting rid of the lagacy content again.

They removed Glee too. No one has Glee now.

Is this the same reason why most Peacock and Paramount+ shows doesn't make it into JioCinema?
