New streaming service Disney+ will be available this winter in SA
Disney announced that it plans to launch its Disney+ streaming service in South Africa this coming winter.
The exact launch date is set for 18 May.
Disney also revealed pricing and has noted that customers will be able to select between a monthly and annual subscription.
The price for a monthly Disney+ subscription will be R119 per month, while it will cost R1190 per year.
The Disney subscription plan will allow four simultaneous streams, downloads on up to ten devices, and seven different profiles.
Disney confirmed that the streaming service will include exclusive original content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. This includes both series and movies, such as The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings.
The company confirmed that Moon Knight, a Marvel series starring Oscar Isaac that debuts at the end of March, will also be available to stream.
Disney and Pixar movies such as Luca and Encanto will also be available on the platform.
General entertainment from Disney’s subsidiaries such as Hulu will also be available via the Star hub but content may vary per region.
"We will reveal our launch line-up in each market nearer to the launch. There may be slight differences within the library content across the different markets, given existing licensing commitments," said Disney in a press statement.
