I'd say that cancelling a finished movie or TV show is unprecedented - but of course Disney already not only cancelled WILLOW, it pulled all eps off the air, while DC cancelled BATWOMAN before it even hit the theaters.
But Disney's going to pull not 1, but 2 more shows off the air... before they ever see the air:
"Disney+ Not Going Forward With ‘Nautilus’ UK Series As Part Of Cost-Cutting Content Removal
Nautilus, the UK live-action Captain Nemo series commissioned by Disney+ two years ago, is no longer headed to the streamer, Deadline has learned.
The decision is part of Disney’s streaming content removal plan unveiled in May, for which the company is taking an impairment charge of approximately $1.5 billion-$1.8 billion. It followed the February announcement by Disney that it intends to cut $3 billion in non-sports content spend across the company.

As Deadline reported exclusively Saturday, Disney+ also is not going forward with another upcoming original series, the The Spiderwick Chronicles, a U.S. live-action series adaptation of the popular children’s fantasy books."

In addition to cancelling finished productions, they've cancelled dozens more before they could start shooting.
But how bad must NAUTILUS be that Disney would cancel an already completed show? I mean they still put WILLOW on air, despite the fact that it gave viewers eye cancer and brain damage.
All of it lending credence to the stories floating around that Disney is prepping for a giant fire sale as it simply can not stop losing money.
