If you are a fan of The Last of Us or The Game of Thrones, then Disney+Hotstar may not have the best news for you. Disney+ Hotstar subscribers in India will not be able to watch HBO content on the platform after March 31. It comes just days after Disney Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bob Iger said the company would cut $5.5 billion in costs, including $3 billion in non-sports related content. It also laid off 7,000 employees.

Hotstar has been streaming HBO's shows since January 2016. Disney Star (previously Star India) struck a deal with HBO in December 2015
