Disney+ Plans International Rollout of Adult-Friendly 'Star' Channel to Subscribers Starting Next Week

Is this what I think it is?? I had no idea Disney even made adult content.

A lot of it is content they acquired when they bought Fox and other Networks.

Glad this is not available in the US. Last thing I need is Disney+ content to be mixed with R and MA rated content like other streaming services do which annoys me. But at least like Netflix where I can set not to show anything past TV-14 and PG-13 it is opting in so even if it was available it would not show up unless I allow it. I just hope like Netflix it is profile independent meaning that each profile can allow past TV-14 PG-13 but others can not show it.

I get free Netflix from T-mobile and there’s a lot of stuff on Pluto TV… not sure paying a lot for Disney’s offerings is worth it to me.

Star is a separate channel in the app, and can be restricted access from other content. It will be the same as Kids accounts on other streaming services.

I’m kinda glad that in Australia a lot of our content from separate US services is compiled in a few streaming services. We still have too many streaming services, but it’s not as fragmented as the US.

Yay! Porn on Disney?

Hulu is only available in USA/Japan. I wonder if the EU Star isn't a trial before it change here in a year. They don't need to scuttle Hulu completely as there is all those other network rebroadcasting arrangements.

How much is Hulu if you already have Disney?

I’ve just cancelled my Netflix subscription, the very first time since signed in. In questionnaire I’ve ticked “price too high”. Of course I’ll will return there eventually after month or two but I cannot see any sense paying so many services at one time if day is still only 24 hours long. This will be also the message for Netflix about they have to be carefully with raising price all the time. I recommend the same to all of you guys or you could stuck with 5 expensive subscription every month.

How much is Hulu if you already have Disney?

The only monthly bundle is adding Hulu with ads and ESPN+ for $12.99 a month. Disney is $6.99/Month or $69.99 annually + Hulu with ads is $5.99/Month or $59.99 annually right now.

Shouldn’t that be “Love, Victor” the television spin-off of the movie “Love, Simon”? A show that is on Hulu, and not on Disney+, because of the un-family-friendliness of *gasp* gay characters.

One of the main reasons I'm not getting Disney +. I'm 30 and I want to see adult themed shows dangit! I love stuff like HBO! LOL. I love shows like Bridgerton, hot steamy and big budget! I'm sticking with Netflix.

Star is in the Disney app?

Yes its a another section within Disney plus outside the USA for other country subscribers. It's basically content from Disney Television Studios, FX, 20th Century Studios and 20th Television that's more adult-friendly, as opposed to all-ages content on the rest of Disney Plus.

Star is in the Disney app?

From what I’ve seen in marketing images yes, it will be another section like Marvel and Star Wars content.

Is Hulu content on Star?

 

[seadragon]

Excellent! Glad to see this in Canada. Bring on the new content!

Thanks. I got Disney during the promo...cents/day for 3 years. As one of the people here said ' there's still only 24hr. to a day'...guess I'll have to rough it without Hulu...

Great news that Australia is included. So used to getting shafted by streaming, it’s led Australians back to torrents

 

[Tech198]

in comparison with Netflix raising it's cost you mean..

They all do it, but they do it well

As long as it's profile independent, ratings centric like Netflix its okay but I bet like Netflix profiles are not password protected.
