With Disney looking to consolidate its streaming services around the world, it has announced that it will merge Star+ into Disney+ in Latin America on June 26th, 2024.

Disney+ in Latin America will be brought in line with how the streaming service operates internationally with the introduction of the Star Hub. This hub includes general entertainment content from Disney’s studios, such as FX, ABC, and 20th Television. Also unique to Latin America, Disney+ will include live sports from ESPN.

On the same day, Disney will introduce a new ad-supported tier in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia.

Disney+ in Latin America will follow how Disney+ works in Canada and Europe, where there will be three different tiers:

• Premium
• Standard
• Standard With Ads.

The Premium tier will offer ad-free content in 4K, while Standard will offer ad-free programming with fewer concurrent streams. Pricing details for the tiers will be announced nearer the release date.

Disney has already begun moving some content from Star+ into Disney+ in Latin America. Some original programming, including “Shogun”, “Echo”, “Extraordinary”, and “Love, Victor,” will be released on both platforms.

Earlier this week, Disney launched Hulu On Disney+ in the United States, bringing mature content from Hulu such as “Shogun”, “The Bear” and “Prey” into Disney+.

More details on how existing customers will be impacted will be revealed later this year.
