The Disney+ website announced on Thursday that the service will launch in the Philippines on November 17. The service's mobile plan will be available for ₱159 monthly, while the premium plan is available for ₱369 monthly.
The Disney+ subscription service launched in the United States in November 2019, rolling out gradually in territories around the world since then. In Southeast Asia, the service is known as Disney+ Hotstar in some territories, including in Malaysia and Thailand.
The service will launch a paid ad-supported subscription tier in the United States on December 8. The service now has 152.1 million subscribers. Across its Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ streaming services, Disney now has 221.1 million subscribers.
Disney+, along with the Disney+ Hotstar service in Southeast Asia, has streamed a number of recent anime in English in several countries, including Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc, Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaguya-sama: Love is War Ultra Romantic, My Hero Academia, Spy×Family, Summer Time Rendering, The Rising of The Shield Hero Season 2, Tomodachi Game, Aoashi, Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall, Dance Dance Danseur, and Platinum End. In Southeast Asia as Disney+ Hotstar, the service partners with other regional license holders such as Muse Asia and Ani-One Asia to provide anime content, in addition to its own licensed titles.
Disney+'s Japanese Twitter account announced an anime of the Disney Twisted-Wonderland smartphone game in October, but has not provided further details. The service plans to also stream the live-action series of The Kindaichi Case Files globally.
