Disney Plus has finally unveiled its new brand - Star - in the UK, Canada, Australia and select European territories, bringing with it a magical array of boxsets, movies and Star Originals to the House of Mouse's very own streaming service.
With the likes of Netflix constantly flooding its own platform with new things to watch, Disney Plus is certainly laying its claim in the streaming subscription space, upping the age range on its content with more adult-orientated titles like Grey's Anatomy and The X-Files to appeal to a wider audience.
Sitting alongside the likes of its Pixar and Marvel hubs, Star will also join Fox and National Geographic content, helping to diversify Disney Plus's choice of binge-worthy content. You can sign up straight away on the website, with the choice of keeping things flexible on a rolling monthly plan, or saving 20% by committing to a year.
And don't worry, parents. If you're concerned about your youngsters seeing new content that just isn't appropriate, you'll be relieved to hear that alongside the launch of Star, Disney Plus will also be introducing parental controls.
To find out all about the new Disney Plus Star shows and movies arriving to the platform, as well as what these parental controls offer, keep reading.
Disney Plus - Sign up for a year for £79.90/CA$119.99/AU$119.99/NZ$129.99
Binge 24, Lost and The X-Files all in one place with the launch of Star titles on Disney Plus, and make way for fantastic Star Originals, too, sure to keep the whole family entertained. Sign up to Disney Plus now and save nearly 20% when opting for its annual plan, otherwise pay a monthly rate of £7.99/CA$11.99/AU$11.99/NZ$129.99.
Star will bring with it over 300 titles. While these aren't all available right now at launch, you can expect them to be drip fed across the coming months. Offering a permanent home to fan favorites like The X-Files, 24 and Desperate Housewives, the introduction of Star on Disney Plus will also bring a stream of completely original TV shows, including Helstrom, telling the chilling story of brother and sister as they navigate a challenging dynamic while tracking down their serial killer parent - you can tell why they're troubled, we suppose...
A spin-off from the world of LGBTQ+ rom-com, Love, Simon, Star brings the Hulu title Love, Victor outside of the US as Victor Salazar faces much of the same questions of identity alongside being the new kid at Creekwood High School.

What parental controls does Disney Plus have?
Good news for anxious parents - alongside this plethora of new content, Disney Plus is also introducing better parental controls. Parents will be better able to control what their kids can and can't watch and rest assured they won't have access to anything inappropriate.
With the ability to create profiles for each member of the household, the new parental controls give the ability to set limits on what content each profile can watch on your account by setting age rating restrictions. Keeping that more mature content under lock and key, you can also set a PIN for your own profile.
