In addition to the greater focus on animation, the channel would later expand its programming scope to encompass gaming and reality television, including live e-sporting events, and programs produced with the Disney-owned Creator/{{Polaris}} Website/{{YouTube}} network. In recent years, Disney XD would also become the new home for the ''Anime/{{Pokemon|The Series}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'' anime franchises following their previous tenure at Creator/CartoonNetwork. Finally, the channel also began airing reruns of past Disney animated programming, increasing the similarities between it and its former brand identity.

In 2019, Disney shuttered the Australian and Indian versions of Disney XD, the latter of which was replaced by Marvel HQ[[note]]a TV version of Marvel's website for kids and families.[[/note]] The following year, the United Kingdom version (and the rest of Disney’s UK kids' nets for that matter) shut down in September[[note]]as Disney never reached new carriage deals with Sky and Virgin Media.[[/note]]

The point at which Disney XD is considered to have [[GrowingTheBeard begun growing its beard]] was following Disney's purchase of Creator/{{Lucasfilm}} and Creator/MarvelComics, at which point the channel began playing host to numerous animated series based on [[WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverse Marvel properties]] and the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise. Disney XD would also become the home for all non-preschool animated programming produced by Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation[[note]]the sole exception being ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries''[[/note]] [[NetworkDecay thanks in no small part to Disney Channel playing favorites to their original sitcoms]], beginning with the second season of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. Reruns of these shows occasionally aired through a branded programming block on Disney Channel. This renewed focus on animation had, [[{{Irony}} ironically]], turned Disney XD into a SpiritualSuccessor of the very network it replaced.

In May 2018, it was announced that premieres of all Disney animated programming would move to Disney Channel, beginning with the remainder of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'''s first season, though Disney XD continues to air reruns of these shows. This is all part of recent efforts to put an end to Disney Channel's DorkAge by adding more non-preschool animated programming and expanding the scope of its live-action programming. It's also an effort to combat the wider problem of declining cable television subscriptions, given that Disney Channel is much more widely distributed than Disney XD. At the current it mostly just reruns former past programming, though does premiere some anime programs and Marvel properties on occasion.

In 2019, Disney shuttered the Indian version of Disney XD, which was replaced by Marvel HQ.[[note]]A TV version of Marvel's website for kids and families.[[/note]] The following year, it was announced that Disney’s UK kids' nets would be shutting down in September [[note]] As Disney never reached a new carriage deal with Sky and Virgin Media.[[/note]], with their programming moving to Creator/DisneyPlus.

Disney XD is an American cable channel that launched on February 13, 2009, replacing Creator/ToonDisney with only five shows (''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan'', ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'') not from the Jetix block being carried over.

In the late 2000s, executives noticed that while Creator/DisneyChannel had an overwhelming female audience, Toon Disney (thanks to its Jetix block) had begun to skew more towards the male demographic. Disney XD was meant to capitalize on this realization, with the channel initially being host to action/adventure-based programming. In essence, [[DistaffCounterpart Disney XD was Disney Channel for boys.]]

The following year, Disney would begun shuttering international Disney XD channels; starting with the Indian version being replaced by Marvel HQ.[[note]]A TV version of Marvel's website for kids and families.[[/note]] In June 2020, it was announced that Disney’s UK kids' nets would be shutting down in September [[note]] As Disney never reached a new carriage deal with Sky and Virgin Media.[[/note]], with their programming moving to Creator/DisneyPlus.

In June 2020, Disney’s UK division announced that its Disney Channel and Disney XD cable divisions would be shutting down in September, and their programs will go to Creator/DisneyPlus. The decision came as Disney had begun shuttering other foreign Disney nets worldwide as it prepares to roll out Disney+ and Hulu internationally.
Not to be confused with the former Disney Xtreme Digital at Disney.com. In fact, it's been stated that the "XD" in the channel's name has no real meaning ([[TotallyRadical aside from]] [[XtremeKoolLetterz the obvious]]).

In June 2019, Disney’s UK division has announced that its Disney Channel and Disney XD cable divisions will be shutting down in September, and their programs will go into Creator/DisneyPlus. Only time will tell if their US division would also do the same.
