Sky and Disney have announced a new multi-year deal that will make Disney+ available for purchase in the UK and Ireland on Sky Q.
Streaming service NOW TV will follow within a few months.
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.”
The deal includes the first-pay window for 20th Century titles and means Sky Cinema customers will continue to enjoy access to the latest blockbuster titles.
