Even more content at a subscription price: Disney + launched another area with new content on February 23, 2021.
In addition to the already established brands Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic and Disney, the streaming service opened a sixth world with numerous series, films and documentaries, which the company describes as general entertainment content.
These come from Disney Television Studios, FX, 20th Century Studios, 20th Television, and other production companies, for example.
There are also some originals to be seen that are only available through Disney +.
Who is Star worthwhile for?
Anyone who has previously only subscribed to Disney + because of its child-friendly streaming offer can now also enjoy entertainment that is tailored to an adult target group.
This makes the service a real competitor for Netflix and Co., as the offer doubles with Star and can therefore keep up with the larger services in the industry.
Unlike, for example, with Amazon Prime Video with some channels that have to be booked additionally, there is no additional subscription price for the area.
Especially for adult Disney fans, but also for families, Disney + will become an interesting alternative in the streaming area with the launch of the new brand at the latest.
Good to know: Thanks to the improved parental controls, which were also introduced on February 23, content from the General Entertainment area remains hidden if it has been classified as unsuitable for children.
In addition, adult profiles can be blocked using a PIN.
