Disney+ is offering a special discounted rate on subscriptions to compete with Netflix and HBO Max. New and eligible returning subscribers can now access Disney+ for just £3.99 per month for three months in a limited-time flash sale.
The usual cost for the Standard with Ads tier is £5.99 monthly, making this offer essentially a three-month subscription for the price of two. Interested customers must sign up for Disney+ before May 6 to take advantage of this reduced rate.
By signing up before the deadline, subscribers can secure the £3.99 monthly rate for three months, making Disney+ the most affordable major streaming service when compared to Netflix (£5.99), Prime Video (£5.99), HBO Max (£4.99), and Apple TV (£9.99).
After the promotional period, the subscription will automatically renew at the standard £5.99 rate unless canceled. Customers aged 18 and above can opt for an ad-supported plan at £3.99, with the option to upgrade to the ad-free Disney+ Standard for £6.99 (originally £9.99) or Disney+ Premium for £9.99 (originally £14.99).
The higher-tier plans offer additional features such as enhanced picture quality up to 4K UHD and HDR, Dolby Atmos support, and up to four simultaneous streams. Additionally, Sky is now offering a free Disney+ subscription with its Ultimate TV bundle, which includes Netflix and HBO Max.
Disney+ provides access to popular series like Rivals, Only Murders in the Building, and The Bear, along with a vast library of content from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and more. The package, priced at £24 per month, includes free streaming subscriptions valued at approximately £240 per year and access to 135 channels like Sky Atlantic.
As Disney+ prepares for the second season of Rivals, viewers can anticipate the release of the Dame Jilly Cooper adaptation airing in two six-part batches starting with a three-episode premiere on May 15. Other new releases available for streaming include The Testaments, a dystopian drama set in the world of The Handmaid’s Tale, and the second part of the conspiracy-thriller Paradise.
Returning fan-favorites like Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle, alongside new content like Daredevil: Born Again and Maul – Shadow Lord from Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar, continue to enrich the platform’s offerings.
For reality TV enthusiasts, Raising Chelsea follows Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo navigating parenthood. Disney+ remains synonymous with popular franchises and has garnered positive reviews, including praise for its extensive catalog and affordability.
While some users have complained about the frequency of ads during shows, others have lauded the platform for its quality content, ease of use, and transparent customer service.
