A new Disney bundle deal just announced by CEO Bob Iger will soon make it more affordable to subscribe to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
The Verge reports that beginning in November, the Mouse house plans to roll out a Disney bundle package comprised of its three streaming services.
Fans who opt into the Disney bundle will have access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for a total of $12.99 a month.
Disney CEO Bob Iger made the announcement via the company’s investors call on Tuesday (August 6), and while it may make for pretty exciting news to some, there are still a few questions left unanswered.
Mainly, it seems as though it’s unclear whether the bundle will be available across multiple regions, or if it’ll take a while for Disney to work out regional licensing issues currently imposed that bar international markets from having access to certain types of content.
For those in the U.S. however, the bundle will likely seem like the best bang for your buck — especially if you’re already subscribed to Hulu and plan on signing up for Disney’s forthcoming streaming platform.
As we learned back in April, Disney+ will officially launch in the United States this November and cost $6.99 per month. Currently, an ad-supported Hulu subscription will set you back $5.99 per month.
Signing up for the bundle essentially means you’ll be getting ESPN+ (which currently costs $4.99 per month) for free. It’s a smart move, especially when advertising to families— we can totally see Disney marketing the bundle as having “something for everyone.”
The newly announced Disney streaming service bundle is set to launch on November 12 — the same day Disney plans to launch its highly anticipated streaming platform in the United States.
