Disney+ is about to get more expensive, but here’s how you can pay less

[Chris Smith]

• Disney+ will get a massive content boost in certain markets via the new Star service that will feature TV shows and movies from various Disney-owned brands.
• Announced in mid-December, Star comes as an upgrade to international Disney+ users except for Latin America.
• The Star brand would also bring a price hike to Disney+ in all regions where the streaming service is available.

When Disney+ launched in late 2019, it was the best streaming deal in town. At $6.99 per month, Disney+ was a must-have service considering all the content it had to offer from all of Disney’s various brands. On top of that, Disney was on the verge of launching The Mandalorian, the first original Disney+ TV show that turned out to be a huge success. A year later, Disney confirmed that it planned to raise the price of the service everywhere Disney+ was available. Disney+ would cost $1 more in the US and €2 or £2 more in Europe.

But Disney+ is still an excellent streaming service to have access to despite the price hike. Disney has increased the number of original shows for the service, announcing in mid-December that it planned to release 10 Star Wars shows and 10 Marvel TV series. On top of that, some of its customers are getting access to a new brand that will expand the type of content available in the service. Star would launch as a separate streamer in some markets this year, Disney said at the time. And that launch is almost here.
