It’s been 2 months since Disney+ launched in the US but now, the powers that be at Disney have announced they have moved up their launch date for EMEA territories to March 24th.
Those in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Switzerland will have to wait an agonising 2 months before it comes to a screen near you. Additional Western Europe markets, including Belgium, the Nordics, and Portugal, will follow in summer 2020.
At launch, subscribers will have access to the critically acclaimed “The Mandalorian,” from executive producer and writer Jon Favreau; High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” a creative modern take on the hit franchise complete with meta-references, a fresh documentary-style feel and a soundtrack which features nine new original songs while also paying homage to fan favourites from the classic film; “The World According To Jeff Goldblum,” which explores the wonderful and often astonishing world of deceptively familiar objects; and “Lady and the Tramp,” a timeless retelling of the 1955 animated classic. Other original titles available at launch include “Encore!,” executive produced by Kristen Bell; “Diary of A Future President” from creator and executive producer Ilana Peña (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”) and executive producer, Gina Rodriguez (“Jane the Virgin”); and “The Imagineering Story,” chronicling the eclectic group of extraordinary creatives who bring Disney Parks to life, among many other exciting shows.
