Will my streaming services remain logged in if I switch wifi networks?

My dad currently does not use any streaming services, only cable, but is undergoing surgery soon that will have him laid up for six weeks. He wants to finally binge some of the shows I've recommended...

It may depend a bit on the particular app, but I don't think it's IP sensitive. Some apps that need local info like weather or local news would normally self-adjust, or will end up showing the wrong area.

Basically, ISP's often change IP addresses all the time, and if it required relogins, you would end up doing that constantly.
