Disney+ maps out its worldwide summer expansion

Disney+ today announced the next slate of countries in which the streaming service will launch, starting with South Africa on May 18. Dozens more countries and territories will follow in Europe and the Middle East starting on June 8.

Prices will vary a little given the location, but they’re all mostly in line with what we’ve seen in other countries. In the United States, that’s $8 a month, or $80 a year, with the annual price essentially getting you two months for free.

While there may be some regional differences, you’ll mostly be seeing the same Disney Plus that’s available everywhere else. That means the best of the Disney universe, as well as Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and National Geographic. There’s also the general entertainment brand, Star — sort of like Hulu in the United States.
