Disney Plus Streaming Service - new details unveiled

"One live-action series is called “The Mandalorian.” Set in the “Star Wars” universe and created by Jon Favreau, the show cost an estimated $100 million for 10 episodes"

I wish them all the success with this... its trying something a bit different, i think Solo was a attempt at this and IF that movie did well, you would think we would have had a sequel that would have been about Smuggling, and other stuff and what DARK operation  MAUL was behind..  

But Solo Bombed!  and they Abandoned any other Spin-Offs... no Obi Wan, no Bobba Fett etc etc.

So and in context to the OT.... this indicated WHILE they had Pulled the Plug on Expanded Universe Movies and Certainly Legends Off-Shoot Movies (about Famous Characters),  for them to be interested in a Star Wars TV Series that may revolve little or NO connection to Franchise Characters, or maybe also NO Force Users... could be interesting.

In context to the OT this could indicate they may be willing to do Expanded Alien Universe TV Series that does-not revolve around the Xenomorph, Ripley or the Origins.

So if we look at other Aspects within the Franchise as DK had discussed in his TOPIC HERE then even if Disney go for a similar route with a 40% Budget of that Mandalorian Star Wars Project i think a Alien-Verse movie that is not about Alien Monsters or Engineers could well be done on a $4M a Episode Budget.

It depends HOW much they regard the Alien Franchise... as the X-Men is BIG but we could see the Alien Franchise with Potential.... as far as STAR WARS... this is a HUGE Franchise and so you can see why they would invest in it.

If this Spin Off Mandalorian does not do well, then maybe Disney could Question doing Movie Franchise TV Spin Offs so Fingers crossed it does very well.

So this service starts in November for $7 USD a month (probably a basic SD package)- not bad. They will need a lot of content to attract customers who don't GAF about superheroes or Disney kid shows. If an Alien series was confirmed, tbh, I would probably wait until the series was complete, sub long enough to watch it and then unsub.

I wonder if they will ever stream an Alien series on Disney +. 

I think an Alien series on this format is a big question from franchise fans. I can't shake the feeling that Disney is monitoring reactions to the IGN shorts to see if they should do a series.

Definitely, they are watching. But I don't believe, if they will do a live-action Alien series, that they will do a low budget one. Like Mr. Iger said, they are starting "from a position of strength, confidence and unbridled optimism.”

It would seem reasonable for Disney to pony up funds for a 6 episode mini season- each being around 20 minutes, and then seeing if there is enough support to continue. 

This is good news for us with kids. 2 birds with one stone and all that. Kids gets the Disney films, we get Alien content XD

I guess we have to subscribe to the bundle that includes Hulu, I doubt Alien or any other R-rated films will make it on Disney+.

The good thing is the content is downloadable so 1 month subscription should do if not interested in anything else Disney has to offer.

Due to the amount of R rated lproperties from Fox(Alien, Predator, The Kingsman,Deadpool,DieHard etc)It It's very doubtful any that Disney would stream much from Fox that isn't called X Men or Avatar. It's more likely that Fox would boot up there own streaming service.

Mr. Iger called the library “a treasure trove of long-lasting, valuable content” that “no other content or technology company can rival.”
