The new Star brand will offer movies and series aimed at adults from the Disney Television Studios, FX, 20th Century Studios or 20th Television factories.
While Disney+ It already houses a large number of titles aimed at children and young people by the hand of Marvel, Pixar or Star Wars, now it launches the new brand, Star, in which it will offer films and series aimed at adults from the Disney Television Studios, FX, 20th Century Studios or 20th Television factories.

The new brand of general entertainment content is proposed as a new channel within the user’s Disney + account alongside the existing options.
It should be noted, on the other hand, that Disney owns Hulu, in addition to Fox. Hulu is behind series like The Handmaid’s Tale Y Love, Victor, authentic in the United States, but not available in the United Kingdom. Hulu is bundled with Disney + in the US, so this new UK bundle will be a big move for non-US customers.
Disney also has a huge catalog of content thanks to the purchase of Fox. Fox is known for series such as Fargo, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Americans Y Atlantawhile 20th Century Studios has produced films such as Avatar, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Darkest Hour Y X-Men, among other blockbusters.

Disney + subscribers in Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea will be able to access Star at a later date, throughout this 2021, while in Latin America, Disney will launch Star + as an independent streaming service that will offer a series of live sports coverage.
