You have to wonder if Disney has somewhat seen this coming though... given they started a clear effort to slide into streaming. The MCU for a full two years now has been mainly a streaming mini-series franchise. The lines are blurring in terms of what's possible as well, TV post-production has come on in leaps and bounds over the last decade or two. The likes of Netflix/Amazon prime/Disney+, and the bigger broadcast/cable channels, have effects that would have been considered high-budget-movie-quality 10 years ago. I think it was going this way even pre-covid. Big household names started appearing in limited series in a way that just didn't happen even a few years back, when cinematic movies were considered "the big leagues".

Only in the UK and Ireland. It’s a slightly complicated part of the airing rights for TWD… Fox television owned the airing and syndication rights for The Walking Dead in the UK and Ireland (it aired on FX). Disney now owns Fox and acquired the UK channels in the purchase, along with those syndication rights, which also gives them streaming rights, and so they can whack it on Disney+ here, but not in other countries.
