Disney Plans to Spend $33B on Content Next Year

Disney says it will spend $8B more on content in 2022 than 2021, mostly on shows and movies for its streaming platforms.

The Walt Disney Co. is planning to turbocharge its content spending in its fiscal 2022 calendar year, which began Oct. 1.

According to the company’s annual report, which was filed with the SEC Wednesday afternoon, Disney plans to spend approximately $33 billion on content over the next year, inclusive of its streaming programming, linear programming and sports content.

That is an $8 billion increase from fiscal 2021, when the company says it spent approximately $25 billion on content.

"We have been fortunate to have made two movies in Maine — The Way We Get By and Beneath The Harvest Sky.” Maine is a very special state in that there are so many options for locations. Given its size, you can travel to northern Maine, southern Maine, all along the coast, and tell a number of different stories in totally unique worlds with each film having very distinctive looks. The abundance of locations combined with the incredible generosity of the people and communities, make filmmaking in Maine a pure joy. We would not be filmmakers today without the support from the people of Maine and we will be forever grateful."

- Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet, The Way We Get By and Beneath the Harvest Sky
