Disney+ is one of the most popular streaming platforms in 2024. Home to all things Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Nat Geo, and more, Disney+ is available on just about every mobile device, smart TV (check out some of the best TV deals we’ve been finding), and streaming gadgets. With plans starting at $8 per month, paying for a full year of Disney+ may be too costly for some. Fortunately, Mickey and all his pals are hooking us up today!

Between now and September 27, new and returning Disney+ Basic subscribers receive the first three months of Disney+ for only $6. After the third month, pricing returns to the Basic tier’s $8 per month cost.

Why you should sign up for Disney+ Basic

If you’re only going to sign up for one or two streaming services per year, Disney+ is an excellent choice. Since its 2019 debut, the platform has added a ton of original content, plus movies and shows from the Disney library and the company’s expanded portfolio. Whether you’re into Marvel shows like Loki and WandaVision, or you’re a big fan of The Mandalorian, there’s something on Disney+ for everyone.

With a Disney+ basic tier, you’ll have access to thousands of Disney+ movies and shows, streaming on up to four screens simultaneously, and the ability to create up to seven user profiles. You’ll also have access to certain movies and shows in 4K and HDR. A Disney+ Basic subscription is a great way for folks using Disney+ for the first time to get used to the app’s layout and performance. And who knows: maybe you’ll want to upgrade to an ad-free plan (pricing starts at $16 per month, effective October 17) three months down the line.

Disney claims that Basic subscribers will see no more than four minutes of ads per hour. You may also want to keep in mind that Disney+ Basic subscribers will not be able to download movies and shows for offline viewing.

This Disney+ offer is a terrific way to jumpstart a year-long subscription or just to enjoy three inexpensive months of Disney content! Save $18 on your first three months of a new Disney+ Basic plan when you sign up before September 27.

If you have to watch one Peacock movie this April 2025, stream this one

A man stands behind a table while wearing a suit.

The world is filled with injustice, and we ignore most of it because it would be hard to go through the world otherwise. That's what can make a movie like Dark Waters feel so bracing. The film, which was released in 2019 and almost immediately became underrated, tells the story of an attorney who slowly connects a number of deaths in a small, rural town to one of the world's biggest corporations.
As he comes to appreciate the scale of the conspiracy he's uncovered, he begins to fear for his life and for the lives of millions around the world. It's a dark, bracing movie, but one well worth watching while it's available on Peacock. Here are three reasons it's worth checking out:

Dark Waters is about something relatively mundane, but it plays like a conspiracy thriller
DARK WATERS | Official Trailer | In Theaters November 22
The mystery at the heart of Dark Waters is sinister, but what makes the movie so remarkable is the way it manages to make a story about the dangers of Teflon feel like All the President's Men.
Thanks to expert direction from Todd Haynes and an impressive script, we learn everything we need to know about this dangerous material and about why DuPont was so intent on covering it up. Dark Waters is far from the first movie to tell the story of a crusading attorney fighting for disadvantaged people, but Dark Waters knows exactly where and when to defy your expectations.

It's anchored by Anne Hathaway and Mark Ruffalo

The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally reveals the first look at Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer

The Fantastic Four pose for a picture while sitting on a couch.

Marvel Studios has been extremely patient with its Fantastic Four rollout. However, the latest trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally revealed the first look at Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer.

"Are you the protectors of the world?" The Silver Surfer asks Marvel's First Family before declaring that Earth has been "marked for death." Shalla-Bal, aka the Silver Surfer, is the Empress of Zenn-La and the official herald to Galactus (Ralph Ineson), the cosmic being who consumes planets. Garner's Silver Surfer sports the trademark metallic skin and travels on a surfboard-esque platform.
