“Star” starts with series and films for adults
The time has come: Disney + is now offering new films, series and documentaries for adult audiences under the new “Star” brand. For new customers that means paying extra. But there is also something for the money.
Update from 02/23/2021: Disney + has kept its promise: anyone who opens the Disney + app for the first time since February 23, will immediately hit the new program, because “Star” has been launched as announced. That means new productions for Disney customers, but also access to many classics for adult audiences. The plan for the new content below in the article has remained true to it. The chance to get a cheap annual subscription has now passed.
Original article:
Over 100 new productions per year on all Disney + titles and a new channel for adult viewers – that is what the media group has announced. It is now clearwhich titles will start when “Star”, the new channel on the streaming service, goes live on February 23.
Different tastes are served with originals like “Big Sky” and “Love, Viktor” and “Helstrom”. Overall, the number of films, series, documentaries and other programs available will be doubled. Star will host content from a variety of Disney studios, including 20th Century Studios, 20th Television, Disney Television Studios and FX. Classics such as “Good Morning, Vietnam”, the “Die Hard” series and the comedy series “Scrubs” will also be shown on Disney +.
The draft horses of Disney +: Marvel and Star Wars
The Marvel and Star Wars franchises are likely to be the driving force in the next few years. Ten new series are planned, including Marvel’s “Secret Invasion” and “Armor Wars” as well as the films of the next phase of the MCU. In Star Wars, friends like “Obi-Wan Kenobi” start with Ewan McGregor. “Ahsoka”, “Willow” and “Lando” get their own spin-offs. Further films are planned as well as a sequel to the Indiana Jones series.
“The Mandalorian” is on Disney +:
In addition, Disney classics will be reissued, as a real film, animation or series. These include “Peter Pan & Wendy” and “Cruella”. For adults, for example, “Shogun” and an “Alien” series are on the agenda. Even a Disney classic can only be streamed by adults.
Disney + is raising prices: you can still save money
All of this is not free: Disney is raising the streaming prices to 8.99 euros per month or 89.99 euros for a year. But anyone who takes action before Star is launched can postpone this price increase for a long time. It applies to new customers from February 23rd. It pays to buy it beforehand, because then the price increase for Disney + will apply from 23 August 2021 at the earliest. Anyone who purchases Disney + from Telekom can save even more.
