Disney has moved the launch date of its upcoming streaming service Disney+ up to March 24 for viewers in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Switzerland. The service, which has been available in the US since November 2019 and was going to be launched in the UK on March 31, will offer a range of content from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and National Geographic. It is also likely that it will offer shows from 21st Century Fox, which was purchased by the media conglomerate in 2017, but the company says complete UK listings will be confirmed "in the coming weeks." Disney has also confirmed the price of Disney+, as well as a yearly payment plan that makes it cheaper than Netflix. Disney+ will cost £5.99 per month, or £59.99 per year - which is equal to under £5 per month and undercuts a basic Netflix subscription. The only streaming service that costs less is Apple TV+, priced at £4.99 per month, but it will be difficult for the technology giant to keep up with Disney due to its comparatively limited range of content. When the service hit the US, Disney+ gained 10 million subscribers on its first day. Netflix, meanwhile, has approximately 158 million subscribers. However, Disney+ was bundled for free with phone and internet plans, as well as with other streaming services. American watchers could pay $12.99 to watch Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, which are not available currently in the UK. In its announcement, Disney said that the platform will be the "exclusive streaming location for films released by the Walt Disney Studios from 2020," as well as touting Star Wars spinoff 'The Mandalorian' which would be available at launch. However, many people in the UK may have already had their fill of the Star Wars franchise; the show was pirated less than three hours after it was uploaded to Disney+ in the United States, and was reportedly set to become one of the most pirated shows of 2019.
