In September 2025, Disney is experiencing significant developments and controversies. On the positive side, Disney+ has a packed month with many new show premieres and movies, such as "Lilo & Stitch," "Marvel Zombies," "Only Murders in the Building" Season 5, and several new series and specials, reflecting strong content offerings on the streaming platform. However, Disney is also facing major political and cultural backlash. After Jimmy Kimmel made controversial remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk, ABC (a Disney- owned network) suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely following FCC pressure and conservative outrage. This has sparked boycotts against Disney and raised questions about the company's identity and influence, while also drawing criticism over corporate decisions under Bob Iger's leadership. The situation has caused significant public and internal turmoil for Disney in 2025.
