Disney+ Coming To South Korea, Hong Kong And Taiwan, With Japan Expanding Its Content


The Walt Disney Company announced today at the company’s Q3 earnings call that Disney+, its streaming service, will launch in South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan in November 2021.

Disney+ Japan will also be expanded to feature additional general entertainment content in October 2021.

The streaming service is currently available in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

“The response towards Disney+ across Asia Pacific has exceeded our expectations, as consumers seek diverse entertainment content and are drawn to our portfolio of brands and franchises,” said Luke Kang, president, The Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific. “We are pleased with the subscriber growth and partnerships forged in markets, and look forward to engaging with more consumers across the region – through unparalleled storytelling, creative excellence and cutting-edge content delivery.”
 

Disney introduced a plus-named service in Latin America that’s not Disney+. Instead, Star+, which launched Tuesday across 18 countries, will bring a mix of original and library content — plus one genre, sports, that doesn’t figure into the Disney+ equation.

The original content — a press release posted June 24 touted 66 new titles created in and for Latin America — will range from drama to comedy to thrillers to biopics and docu-reality series.
As for sports, Star+ will bring ESPN to the region as a streaming product, including extensive coverage of soccer leagues there and in Europe, U.S. and Mexican pro baseball, and a localized version of the sports network’s SportsCenter.

Disney offers Star+ at monthly and yearly rates but also provides a Combo+ bundle of this new service and Disney+ on a monthly basis. The company offers the service in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay,and Venezuela.

Star Plus is heading to Latin America too.
