In case you haven’t heard, Disney and Netflix have decided to part ways. Yes, it’s true, but the streaming service and multinational entertainment conglomerate want viewers to know it’s not their fault that they’re breaking up and they love us all just the same.

However, this tragic split does mean there will be a lot of change and here’s what you can expect in the coming months.

ICYMI, Disney and Netflix are splitting up.

We know, it’s a hard pill to swallow, but we’ve got some inside scoop for you…

1. Disney will have its own exclusive streaming service called Disney+ or Disney Play.

The service is said to be launching in the fall of this year and in the meantime, you can receive updates on its production here.

2. The service will launch with 500 movies and 7,000 TV episodes.

According to Disney CEO Bob Iger, the service will have, “the entire output of the studio, animation, live action at Disney, including Pixar, Star Wars and all the Marvel films.”

According to The Verge, Iron Man‘s Jon Favreau will write the upcoming Star Wars live-action series.
