In addition to the pandemic's impact on movie and television production, many have speculated over how upcoming seasons and new shows will handle the topic -- will they go on like normal or will they incorporate the pandemic into their storylines?

Hulu has announced a new plan that mirrors a similar offering from its family-friendly sibling, Disney+. The two existing plans -- the one with ads and the one without ads -- aren't going anywhere and consumers will continue to pay for them monthly like usual. However, a third option -- an annual plan -- has joined them for those who know they'll be sticking with the service for a while, and there's a good reason to switch to it.

Anyone who subscribes to Disney+ will be able to stream the movie, but it'll be a bit more complicated -- and expensive -- than usual.
Netflix is on the verge of acquiring a new movie from Disney's 20th Century Studios, a report claims, a transaction that would see the thriller debut on Netflix's own platform.

The Witcher is turning out to be a very big property for Netflix. Netflix green lit a second season for its mainline TV series before the first season - which was well-received by fans - even premiered. After the first season was in the books, Netflix announced an anime movie spin-off, but it turns out that isn't the only spin-off Witcher fans are getting.
Quibi, the short-form video streaming service, has added a new screenshot tool to its app that addresses one big criticism of the new platform.

Sonic the Hedgehog, it seems, has turned into one of the rare video game movie successes.

Following a period of some intensely negative feedback, Paramount delayed the movie as the designers went back to the drawing board to change Sonic's design to something a little more familiar.
