the trailer release<\/a> had reinforced that belief.<\/p>\n\n\tBeyond the Oasis project, Jain laid out a sweeping expansion plan for Disney+\u2019s local originals slate across the U.K. and Europe. She cited a target, previously stated by Disney CEO Josh D\u2019Amaro on earnings calls, to triple the number of local originals globally.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cTo commission hit shows,\u201d Jain said when asked to state her strategy. She added that nearly 40% of Disney+ viewers fall between the ages of 16 and 34, which she identified as a key opportunity for original local programming.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn the scripted side, Disney+ VP of scripted Lee Mason flagged that sophomore series \u201cRivals\u201d had performed strongly, with part two of Season 2 set to launch in the fall following part one\u2019s summer debut. Mason also revealed that Disney+ had greenlit \u201cMad Love,\u201d a new comedy-drama written by American playwright Kate Cortesi, in which a young woman takes a job with a wedding planner in Italy. The project joins \u201cDad,\u201d a family comedy-drama commissioned earlier this year from writer Cam Garrity and produced with A24, in which a grown sibling group discovers their father is a murderer. \u201cExtraordinary\u201d will also return for another series.<\/p>\n
\n\tMason said he would look more actively at programming for 16-to-34-year-old viewers, though he was careful to distinguish that move from a straightforward pivot toward young-adult content. He identified the sci-fi, fantasy and superhero space as well-served elsewhere on the platform, suggesting original productions should be additive rather than duplicative of Disney\u2019s studio output.<\/p>\n
\n\tJain noted that greenlight authority for the full slate sits with her and the U.K. team, which she said also covers seven other markets across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The camera was rolling when the Gallaghers made up.
