First announced by The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek during the company’s fiscal third-quarter results earlier this month, Disney confirmed this Thursday, in a memo sent to the press, that is launching its most anticipated streaming service Disney+ in Latin America in November.
“We know that our Latin American audience is looking forward to the arrival of Disney+, the only streaming service that will offer exclusive access to all premieres of available content from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and National Geographic,” said Diego Lerner, president of The Walt Disney Company Latin America.
“In addition, all of Disney’s animated classics will be together for the first time in a single, exclusive destination. The entertainment proposal will be complemented by a robust offer of original Disney + series and films, a self-produced label, with a variety of titles that can be viewed only on our platform, as well as original content produced locally in various countries in the region for the most diverse audiences,” the exec added.
Our audience will also be able to access on Disney + all TV programs produced locally or globally (series, TV films, documentaries, shows, events and special programs), becoming the only digital destination that will have everything.
