Disney's new streaming service, Disney Plus, has been a topic of much interest since it was announced.

The service, which will challenge streaming giant Netflix, is set to launch on November 12th, 2019.

It will reportedly cost $6.99 a month. Users will also have the alternative payment option of a discounted $69.99 per year.

Kevin Mayer, Disney's direct-to-consumer and international chairman, said that Disney Plus "will likely" be bundled with Hulu and ESPN Plus at a discounted rate.

At launch, the service will offer 25 original series from franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, as well as National Geographic and Pixar properties. 10 movies and specials, and more than 400 existing Disney titles will also be available.

Disney projects that by Disney Plus' fifth year it will have over 50 new original series every year.

This will include the entire Star Wars collection (including the original trilogy!), and the first 30 seasons of The Simpsons.



These details were released as part of Disney's investor day presentation.

With the Disney-Fox merger, Disney now owns 60% share of Hulu (after taking ownership of Fox's 30%), leading to the likelihood that Disney Plus will be available as a bundle with other majority-Disney-owned services like Hulu and ESPN Plus.

New series announced included The Mandalorian, a Star Wars story produced by Iron Man producer Jon Favreau, and a spin-off of Rogue One.

On the Marvel side of things, Disney announced Falcon and Winter Soldier, as well as a Scarlet Witch and Vision-centered series called WandaVision.

Viewers were excited about the new streaming service, and the shows it will offer.




Others are intrigued by the low monthly price.

The hype over the recently announced series Loki that will be available on the platform, and that Tom Hiddleston will be returning to play the titular role, is real.





Whether you are a fan of Marvel, Star Wars, or classic Disney films, Disney Plus looks like it will have something for you. Now to wait until November.

Michael Jackson Fans Called Out Over Their Deranged Reaction To Paris Jackson Talking About Her Late Dad

Paris Jackson is no stranger to public scrutiny—but this time, the backlash isn’t about her. It’s about fans of her late father, Michael Jackson, and the increasingly unhinged way they’re responding to her simply speaking about him.

It all started when Entertainment Tonight shared a red carpet interview from the Vanity Fair Vanities party, where Jackson was asked about the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. The film stars her cousin, Jaafar Jackson, as the King of Pop, with Colman Domingo portraying family patriarch Joe Jackson.

Riley Gaines Ripped For Bonkers Attempt To Discredit Tim Walz After He Condemns Trump's Genocidal Threat To Iran

Former NCAA swimmer and current transphobic conservative darling Riley Gaines was criticized for a desperate attempt to discredit Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after he condemned President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.
