Sky and Disney have agreed a new multi-year deal, making Disney+ available in the UK and Ireland on Sky Q, and on NOW TV in the coming months.
Sky customers will be able to watch great new shows like The Mandalorian and High School Musical; The Musical, The Series; The World According to Jeff Goldblum and more.
As the deal includes the first-pay window for 20th Century titles , Sky Cinema customers will continue to enjoy access to the latest blockbusters, like Le Mans ’66 and Terminator: Dark Fate.
Jeremy Darroch, Group Chief Executive, Sky, said: “We’ve built a strong partnership with Disney over three decades and we’re pleased that our customers in the UK and Ireland can continue to enjoy their world-class content – all in one place on Sky Q. This is a great start to what is set to be another stellar year for Sky – in 2020 we’ll launch new channels and genres, start building Sky Studios Elstree and we’ve got brilliant new and returning originals coming too.”
Kevin Mayer, Chairman of Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International, added: “We are delighted that Sky is selling the Disney+ service on their platform and, along with our other distribution partners, will deliver exceptional reach at launch.”
Disney+ is already available in the US, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico. It will also launch in markets across Western Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain and a number of other countries in the region over the coming months.
