Disney announced that its video streaming service would launch in the US in November.
SAN FRANCISCO - Disney announced Thursday that its video streaming service would launch in the US in November, spotlighting its blockbuster-making studios as it takes on powerhouse Netflix.
Disney plans to make the streaming service available in all major regions of the world within two years. "The Disney+ platform is being built on that foundation, one that no other content or technology company can rival," Iger said. Disney stressed plans to use its coveted content, and original creations to come, to differentiate itself in the increasingly competitive streaming television market.
Disney+ will launch"with a robust library of theatrical and television content" and will release more than 25 original series and 10 original films, documentaries and specials in its first year, according to the company. With Hollywood stars galore, Apple last month unveiled its streaming video plans along with news and game subscription offerings as part of an effort to shift its focus to digital content and services to break free of its reliance on iPhone sales.
