In a streaming industry first, two competing companies have announced they will offer their streaming services in one package to customers in the US. Disney will combine its Disney+ and Hulu services with Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max service sometime later this summer.

Most of the details on this new package deal were not disclosed in the Disney press release, such as a specific launch date, and most importantly, the pricing of the package. Disney did state that there will be both ad-free and ad-based programs for this bundle.

Currently, Disney+ costs $7.99 per month with ads and $13.99 per month for an ad-free plan. Hulu costs $7.99 per month with ads and $17.99 per month without ads. There is already a package for Disney+ and Hulu that costs $9.99 per month with ads and $19.99 per month without ads. Max plans start at $9.99/month with ads, $15.99/month without ads, and $19.99/month without ads with 4K UHD streaming support.

Hopefully, this new Disney+-Hulu-Max bundle will offer a lot more in terms of savings than getting each individually. We also hope there is an option for annual pricing.

People who purchase access to both Disney+ and Hulu in the US can already stream all Hulu content in the Disney+ app, but not the other way around. Disney announced just earlier this week that it will add a way for ESPN+ subscribers to access content from that service directly in the Disney+ app in late 2024.

Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have already announced plans to team up with Fox Sports to launch a new, but currently unnamed, sports-themed streaming service in late 2024. It will merge all content shown on ESPN, Fox Sports and TNT Networks cable networks into one streaming service. Pricing for this service has also not yet been revealed.
