Disney recently announced that it will be increasing the price of their monthly streaming service.
The announcement came just a week after they announced they would be kicking Jimmy Kimmel Live! off their network, ABC, for Kimmel’s Charlie Kirk-related comments.
Disney later overturned the ban on Kimmel’s show, which will re-air on ABC on Tuesday.
Although the Kimmel news is still fresh, Disney is confidently moving forward with the price increases.
Not only will Disney+ be affected, but so will their other streaming services, Hulu and ESPN.
As of October 21, their new price structure will be as follows:
- Disney+: An increase by $2 to $11.99 with ads or an increase by $3 to $18.99 without ads
- Hulu: An increase by $2 to $11.99
- ESPN: An increase by $1 to $12.99
The cost for service bundles will also increase. The premium bundle for the trio will go from $26.99 to $29.99.
While the timing might seem fishy considering the recent Kimmel drama, Disney raised prices for all three streaming services in both 2023 and 2024.
