10 More Movies & TV Shows You Can No Longer Watch

10. Willow

The long-awaited TV series sequel to 1988's cult classic fantasy film Willow was released on Disney+ in late 2022 before wrapping up its run at the start of 2023.

Though critical reviews were rock solid right out of the gate, audience response was considerably more polarised, resulting in underwhelming viewing figures throughout its initial airing and a swift cancellation back in March.

All the same, it was reasonable to assume that the show - which was produced at a hefty cost of $106 million - would exist in perpetuity on Disney+, what with it being an original production by Disney and Lucasfilm (which Disney owns).

Yet in May, the House of Mouse decided to remove Willow from their streaming service altogether, as part of a wider content purge mounted by Disney CEO Bob Iger, in an attempt to lower their current tax bill.

Star Warwick Davis vocally criticised Disney for their decision, calling the move "embarrassing," and while many of Disney's banished originals this year quickly found homes on other streaming services, at the time of press Willow continues to languish in the abyss.

While it's likely that Willow will eventually be licensed out to another streaming service, for now there's no (legal) way to watch the series. For a show that premiered less than a year ago, that's absurd.
