All About Interwebz: Final day: save NZ$30 on Disney Plus before the midnight price hike

Disney Plus is set to receive hundreds of additional TV shows and movies at 12PM (NZDT) tonight (23/2/21) with the arrival of Star, a mandatory new section within the service which offers more adult-oriented content.

While Star will be a section within the existing Disney Plus app, it is essentially its own streaming service, meaning there will be a price increase for all subscribers starting from February 23, 2021.

That means today is your very last chance to secure Disney Plus at its original yearly price point of NZ$99.99.

The cost of a monthly Disney Plus subscription will rise from NZ$9.99 to NZ$12.99, while the service's yearly subscription will increase from NZ$99.99 to NZ$129.99.

Disney Plus is getting a Black Panther spin-off series

Disney Plus Star: what's included

The inclusion of Star means that in addition to the family-friendly fare that's currently available to stream on Disney Plus, you'll also get access to more grown-up content from the likes of Hulu, ABC, Disney Television Studios, FX, Touchstone, Searchlight Pictures, 20th Century Studios and 20th Television.

Older favourites like Sons of Anarchy, The X-Files and 24 will sit alongside newer shows like Solar Opposites, from creator Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty) and Big Sky, a new police procedural from David E. Kelley (The Practice, Ally McBeal).

You'll also get a wide range of movies aimed at adults – Disney Plus subscribers will finally get the access to Marvel's more violent films, including Deadpool and Logan, and you can also expect classic films like Aliens, Braveheart, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Die Hard and even Starship Troopers to be made available to stream.
