- Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ saw a surge in cancellations between September 17-23, 2025, losing over 1.7 million subscribers.
- The cancellations were triggered by the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show after he criticized Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
- Disney+ had promised investors an additional 10 million subscriptions by the end of September 2025, making the timing of cancellations problematic.
- Despite the cancellations, Disney+ and Hulu remain among the largest streaming platforms with around 183 million subscribers as of June 2025.
- Investors are demanding transparency and access to internal documents regarding Kimmel's suspension to understand management's decision.
