Disney has finally unveiled the price, launch date, and other key details regarding its highly anticipated streaming platform, Disney+. Since the announcement of their entry into the streaming arena, excitement has been building around Disney’s response to competitors like Netflix and Apple TV. At the 2019 Investor Day event in Burbank, California, executives shared some eagerly awaited information.
Pricing Details
First up is the pricing, which many have been curious about. Disney’s CEO, Alan Foster, disclosed that the streaming service will cost just $6.99 a month. For those in the U.S., there’s also an option for an annual subscription at $69.99, bringing the monthly cost down to approximately $5.83. This competitive pricing positions Disney+ as one of the most affordable streaming options available, making it a great choice for families and young adults alike. When asked about the lower price compared to rivals, Foster indicated, “This is our initial major venture into this market, and we aim to reach as many viewers as possible.” While this might suggest future price increases, it also provides a compelling reason to sign up sooner rather than later.
Launch Date
Now, onto the launch date, which is sure to generate excitement. Disney+ will officially debut in the U.S. on November 12, 2019, which is just a few months away. Following this initial rollout, Disney plans to expand the service globally within the next couple of years, so international users may need to exercise a bit of patience.
Content Library
Earlier announcements confirmed that Disney’s extensive library would be accessible on the platform. At launch, subscribers can expect to find 7,500 episodes of current and classic television shows, along with 25 original series, 10 original films, 400 library movies, and 100 recent theatrical releases. This includes beloved classics, as well as titles from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic, and the newly acquired 20th Century Fox catalog. While the selection may be smaller than some competitors, the variety and value offered at this price point are hard to ignore.
Original Content Plans
Additionally, Foster revealed ambitious plans for original content tailored specifically for Disney+. The company intends to invest $1 billion in original programming during 2020 alone. This commitment to fresh content will ensure that subscribers have new offerings to enjoy, making the subscription worthwhile over time.
