Disney Plus will roll out in the U.S. on November 12 at a price of $6.99 per month, or $69.99 per year. Like Netflix, Disney Plus will be free of ads. Disney will also contend with a new streaming service from Apple, which is expected to be released in the fall. Iger has said Hulu will continue to offer general entertainment programming while Disney Plus will be focused on family fare. Disney said movies would become available on its streaming service only after the traditional theatrical release period and home movie debut, which includes DVDs and purchasing streaming videos.
