Disney+ Launches in 42 New Countries in Europe, Middle East, and Africa This Summer

The Walt Disney Company's streaming service is expanding again, and it will soon launch in new countries from Europe and also in the Middle East and South Africa. The Disney Plus platform finally confirmed it would become available in 42 new countries and 11 new territories this summer, so all the fans that kept waiting for the service to become available in their country are pretty excited following the announcement.

Right now, a subscription with the platform offers commercial-free content from Disney and Pixar, titles from Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, as well as The Simpsons and some extra content through its new general entertainment content brand in select markets around the globe, the Star service (the latest from 20th Century Studios, Disney Television Studios, FX, Searchlight Pictures, and more). 

Moreover, you can host virtual movie nights with GroupWatch, download content on mobile devices, and watch several titles in 4K and Dolby Atmos - and it even has a growing list of IMAX Enhanced titles.
