It’s not just us Brits who are waiting for Disney Plus to on March 24th, but a good chunk of Europe including Spain, France, Austria and more.
For these countries, the agonizing wait for is going to be that little bit longer, as a tweet from the newly established Disney Plus UK Twitter account confirmed that the and most widely anticipated title, will indeed be its way to the platform on March 24th, but it’ll only ‘start to roll out’.
The same tweet was posted on the Spanish and Italian accounts.
Start to? Are you serious? It’s bad enough that we’re a solid four months behind The United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Puerto Rico, and the Netherlands, but now we don’t even get all of the most anticipated show in one go, to binge in one indulgent space-themed afternoon?
It seems more than a little ridiculous considering the widespread coverage of the show already out there. We know what a Baby Yoda is in London! We’ve got the internet too, by golly! I’ve seen funny and everything.
Sadly, this move will likely spur on pirates who’ve streamed illegally, though saying that, if they were going to do it, they’ve probably done it already. While I’m certain there’s a good reason for this delay, it’s sure to turn a few European heads and cause a collective eye roll from the continent’s community. It does seem mad that we’re further punished by having to wait even longer for this (allegedly – we wouldn’t know) that’s been up with months of hype.

The amount of episodes that’ll be released at once is , but hopefully in everyone will get their content at the same time, regardless of where they lay their Stormtrooper helmet.
Still, I doubt any of this will concern The Mouse, as if you’re like me, you’ll be throwing your money at that tv screen come March 24th for all of that sweet, sweet Disney Plus goodness. And . Eventually. Hey, at least we get Doctor Who first… Yay?
What do you think about Disney’s decision to ‘start to roll out’ on ? Does it make sense to you? If you’re from Europe, will you be downloading the service on March 24th? What recently shows are you looking forward to? Let us know all this in the comments below.
