On the other hand, Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, has announced new details about the contents of Disney +, such as the arrival of up to 60 new titles on the platform during the first five years, to which we must add the large amount of Disney content present at Disney + from day one.
New content such as the Star Wars development series, such as The Mandalorian, which will be released next to the platform on November 12 in the United States, or the already announced series of Obi-Wan and Cassian Andor.
On the other hand, the head of Disney has confirmed that the contents under the R classification will not take place on Disney +, becoming available on the Hulu channel, such as Deadpool or Logan or series such as Family Guy. Finally, some Disney content such as Coco or Ralph Internet breaks will not be available on Disney + from the beginning, since they depend on agreements with other platforms still in force.
Disney + will be priced at 6.99 euros per month or 69.99 euros for a full year.
