Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced a new streaming bundle service that will include Disney+, Hulu, and Max. This exciting new offering will be available for viewers this summer. The move is reminiscent of traditional cable packages, bringing together brands like ABC, FX, Food Network, Marvel, HGTV, and CNN all under one roof.
The companies unveiled the streaming bundle service on Wednesday in a press release. The bundle will offer options for both ad-supported and ad-free plans, with more details to be released once the launch date is set. Disney already offers bundle packages for streamers, including its Disney Bundle Trio Basic plan that combines Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ with ads for $14.99 a month.
Disney became involved with Hulu in 2019 when it acquired a majority stake in the streaming company from Comcast. Disney then took full control of Hulu in November 2023 by offering Comcast $8.6 billion. According to The Wall Street Journal, Disney CEO Bob Iger considered Hulu an important part of its efforts to broaden its audience.
During an earnings report on Tuesday, Disney shared details about its streaming app. The company expects Disney+ to earn a profit for the first time in the fourth quarter, with streaming losses falling to $18 million compared to the $659 million recorded at this time last year. This new partnership between Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery gives subscribers access to blockbuster films
