As every Disney theme park shuttered around the world and people were asked to stay home, streaming services took center stage providing libraries worth of content for people to stream and binge-watch to help pass the time.
Disney+, in particular, has helped carry Disney through these times. It now boasts over 54 million subscribers and has become the home for new content such as Disney-Pixar’s Onward, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Frozen II far ahead of schedule. And it will soon be the home of Walt Disney Pictures’ latest film, Artemis Fowl. Hulu has also taken an important role, becoming the home for all shows deemed not-so-family-friendly for Disney+ and ESPN+ is becoming the home for shows such as Peyton’s Place as well as live sports.
The Disney Bundle features all three streaming services together and is available for $12.99 a month.
This is a developing story.
Have you been watching a lot of Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN+ lately? What are some of your favorite shows? Let us know in the comments!
