Star Wars, The Bear and House of the Dragon fans can finally have it all. Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are joining forces to launch an exciting new streaming bundle that gives subscribers access to Disney+, Hulu and Max.
A specific launch date and pricing have not been announced yet, though the new bundle will become available this summer. Plus, the package will offer both ad-supported and ad-free options. The companies said they will share “additional details” in the “coming months,” per a press release shared with DECIDER.
The news comes a couple of months after Disney launched Hulu on Disney+, which allows subscribers to both streaming platforms to access Hulu on the Disney+ homepage. But unlike Hulu on Disney+, the apps and content will remain separate for the Disney+, Hulu and Max bundle.
“On the heels of the very successful launch of Hulu on Disney+, this new bundle with Max will offer subscribers even more choice and value,” Joe Earley, Disney’s president of direct-to-consumer, said in a statement shared in the release. “This incredible new partnership puts subscribers first, giving them access to blockbuster films, originals, and three massive libraries featuring the very best brands and entertainment in streaming today.”
The new package will further offer “the best value in entertainment and an unprecedented selection of content from the biggest and most beloved brands in entertainment including ABC, CNN, DC, Discovery, Disney, Food Network, FX, HBO, HGTV, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, Searchlight, Warner Bros. and many more,” the companies said on Wednesday (May 8).
JB Perette, Warner Bros. Discovery’s CEO and president of global streaming and games, added that the new venture “presents a powerful roadmap for the future of the industry,” noting that the bundle will “help drive incremental subscribers and much stronger retention” all while offering “the greatest collection of entertainment for the best value in streaming.”
Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery and Fox Corp will also team up to release a streaming sports service this fall, though a launch date has not yet been revealed.
