Disney+ to Offer Ad-Supported Subscription Plan at Lower Price
This is the way… to save a little money on your Disney+ viewing.
The streaming service announced Friday that it will soon offer an ad-supported subscription tier that comes at a lower price. The new plan will become available in late 2022 in the United States (and internationally in 2023), but a more specific launch date and pricing details have yet to be announced.
Disney+’s ad-free subscription tier, which currently costs $7.99 monthly and $79.99 annually, will remain available. At its launch in November 2019, Disney+ offered a discounted deal that came out to $3.92 a month if you signed up for three years along with a D23 fan club membership; those three-year terms will expire by this September.
“Expanding access to Disney+ to a broader audience at a lower price point is a win for everyone — consumers, advertisers and our storytellers,” said Kareem Daniel, chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution. “More consumers will be able to access our amazing content. Advertisers will be able to reach a wider audience, and our storytellers will be able to share their incredible work with more fans and families.”
The news comes just days after Disney+ acquired several Marvel series that previously belonged to Netflix. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher, Iron Fist and the one-off limited series The Defenders will all drop on Disney+ on Wednesday, March 16, as will all seven seasons of ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
And just like that, television was back.
simply add more shows worth watching
Depends how much cheaper it’s going to be. I suppose could grin and bear it if it’s a lot cheaper. However I do save up until the next year for it so might be ok this year.
No thanks, I absolutely hate adds on streamers so i’ll keep paying for the ad free one.
I’ll stick to the ad-free level. I got the 3yr subscription back during Labor Day weekend 2019 and it’s up this year. I’ll pay the annual subscription because it ends up being about $6 monthly…still cheaper than some of the other streaming services.
I assume the ad-free price will increase when the ad-supported version becomes available (probably the $5 and $10 price points).
I watched all the Netflix shows on Netflix. I’m going to need Disney+ to produce new content at a faster pace or I’m going to drop the subscription and only sign up when there’s something I want to watch. And I’m sure they’ll raise the ad-free price within six months of the lower tier. It would be worth it if they combine Disney+ with Hulu for the price of one, but that depends on the content they’re offering. The good news is that they seem to have a plan.
Huh? No one could watch all the shows on Netflix. And the Disney bundle with Hulu is like $7 cheaper than Netflix, that just raised their prices. Or maybe the same if you go completely ad free.
I have disney + in dec. Will I get it with ads and pay the same amount jo6385654@gmail.
