A NEW AD-FREE DISNEY+ AND HULU BUNDLE SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. THIS FALL

BURBANK, Calif.

"The strong momentum of our ad-supported plans in the U.S. demonstrates the importance of providing consumers with choice, flexibility and value," said Joe Earley, President, Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment. "We are excited to expand that offering in more markets across the globe, including in Europe and Canada, and to launch a new premium duo bundle of ad-free Disney+ and Hulu this Fall, as we take steps toward making extensive Hulu content available via Disney+ later this year for Bundle subscribers."

The new ad-supported plans start at £4.99/€5.99 month in EMEA and $7.99/month in Canada. Existing subscribers in applicable markets will remain in the Premium tier with No Ads when their subscription price increases in December, unless they opt to switch into one of the new lower-priced plans.
