Disney+ announced that it is adding continuous playlists to its core subscription on-demand offering in the USA. Beginning 4 September, a playlist focused on preschool content will be available to all subscribers, with four additional curated playlists to follow later this fall.
This new feature bolsters the platform’s offering, ahead of updated pricing for various plans later this year, providing subscribers with both a live and on-demand streaming experience that will continue to grow throughout the year. Disney+ president Alisa Bowen said, “Whether it’s news, kids’ content, popular genres, hit TV shows or blockbuster films, there will be something for everyone in a lean-back viewing experience based on seasonality and interest.”
Ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election, all subscribers of the streaming service will have access to ABC News Live, will receive a playlist focused on preschool content featuring TV series and shorts including Sofia the First, The Lion Guard, Puppy Dog Pals, and Minnie’s Bow-Toons.
Later this fall, four additional curated playlists will initially roll out to Premium subscribers, featuring content that will be refreshed monthly:
- Seasonal Content — a collection of seasonal-themed content from across the Disney+ catalogue.
- Epic Stories — a compilation of action-packed stories from marquee brands and franchises, including Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars.
- Throwbacks — a destination for nostalgic pop culture content.
- Real Life — a lineup of traditional documentaries, biopics, and true stories.
