Here Are All The New Shows & Movies Coming To Disney+ You Won't Want To Miss
On Thursday, April 11, Disney finally unveiled the programming details for its long-awaited streaming service, and it looks like there's a lot in store for fans, especially in terms of new content. As part of the platform's extensive collection, which, according to company's website, will consist of more than 7,500 television episodes and 500 films, there are a plethora of new shows and movies coming to Disney+ that fans aren't going to want to miss.
According to the company's website, the service, which is due to launch on November 12, 2019, will run customers $6.99 per month and will feature the conglomerate's full catalog of entertainment, including shows and films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more. In addition to its extensive listing of content, the service will be available on both TV and mobile devices, which means getting a subscription to the platform is pretty much a no-brainer for anyone who loves TV and film.
Details from The Walt Disney Company's site reveal:
"Disney+ will launch in November with a robust library of theatrical and television content, and in its first year will release more than 25 original series and 10 original films, documentaries and specials by some of the industry’s most prolific and creative storytellers."
