Disney+ is hoping to beam into more households. To achieve this, the streaming service and its sister streamers are launching lower-priced, ad-supported tiers. Now fans who were hesitant to pull the trigger on this niche platform may be more willing to jump on board and catch up on the various original Star Wars and Marvel series.
The new ad-supported tiers launch on December 8. Below you will find the pricing:
- Disney+ for $7.99 per month
- Disney+, Hulu for $9.99 per month.
- Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ for $12.99 per month
- Hulu + Live TV – which has included Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ as part of a subscription since December – will introduce a new basic (with ads) plan for $69.99 a month.
Kareem Daniel, Chairman, Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution stated:
“With our new ad-supported Disney+ offering and an expanded lineup of plans across our entire streaming portfolio, we will be providing greater consumer choice at a variety of price points to cater to the diverse needs of our viewers and appeal to an even broader audience. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ feature unparalleled content and viewing experiences and offer the best value in streaming today, with over 100,000 movie titles, TV episodes, original shows, sports, and live events collectively.”
The regular Disney+ no-ads plan will remain at $10.99 per month or $109.99 per year. The Premium plan Disney Bundle remains at $19.99 per month. Legacy subscribers can pay $14.99 per month for a bundle including Disney+ (No Ads), Hulu (With Ads), and ESPN+ (With Ads).
