Disney Plus

Disney +: how the streaming platform works

Disney + is the on-demand video subscription service that The Walt Disney Company plans to launch from November 12, 2019 in the United States, and thereafter between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 in Western Europe and the region of Asia-Pacific, by the end of 2020 in Eastern Europe and Latin America. This streaming service that will rival Netflix and Amazon Prime Video will boast a catalog featuring the best of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm (Star Wars) and National Geographic productions, as well as the titles produced by 21st Century Fox that was recently acquired by the home of Baby Mouse.

We know that, at least according to the initial plans, Disney intends to supply only its own original products, marking what according to Disney boss Robert Iger is ‘the beginning of what will be a completely new growth strategy for the company’ .

Disney + launch date: 12 November 2019

The Disney business-to-consumer streaming service is about to be officially opened. It is presented on 11 April 2019 on the occasion of Disney’s investor day.

It seems, in fact, that the new Disney-branded platform will debut in the autumn of 2019. How will it work? Currently, not many declarations have been made regarding the operation of the streaming platform. We only know that the service will be called Disney + and that it will initially be inaugurated only in the United States and only later will it expand overseas. Probably the operation could follow that of the platform created by Disney for Great Britain in 2015 but nothing is certain yet.
