We knew Disney was building its own on-demand streaming service, à la Netflix or HBO GO, but we didn’t know the name.
Now we do. Disney’s new streaming service will be called Disney+.
While there’s been a few rumored names (it was misreported, at one point, to be “Disney Play”), word of this name comes straight from the Mouse House:
Disney+ will launch in “late” 2019 — which makes sense, as that’s right around the time Disney’s remaining contractual ties with Netflix come to an end.
Disney also dropped news about two new series:
- An as-of-yet unnamed live action Star Wars series about Rogue One’s Cassian Andor, with Diego Luna returning for the role. It is set to take place prior to Rogue One. This, of course, is in addition to The Mandalorian, the series Jon Favreau is making for the service.
- An unnamed live-action Marvel universe series focusing on Loki. Tom Hiddleston will return to the role.
WarnerMedia Holds Content Talks with NBCU
AT&T’s WarnerMedia has approached Comcast’s NBCUniversal to discuss ways of working together, including about licensing films or TV shows for WarnerMedia’s planned new streaming service, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
The approach signals that AT&T wants to strengthen its hand in competing with Walt Disney, Netflix and other rivals. In particular, the telephone company’s WarnerMedia division—the former Time Warner—wants to broaden the program selection for its new streaming service, which is scheduled to launch late next year. Disney, which is due to acquire much of 21st Century Fox early next year, is launching its own streaming service next year as well. The AT&T-Comcast discussions reflect the intensity of change underway in the entertainment industry, as the Disney-Fox merger and the AT&T acquisition of Time Warner has sparked a more aggressive effort among entertainment companies to respond to the rise of video streaming and Netflix.
