Disney Plus will soon double its content library for many countries with the addition of Star, and here's the movies and shows announced for launch. While everything else in the streaming game is still playing catch-up to the giant gorilla known as Netflix, Disney Plus has rapidly grown in the just over a year it's been available for sign-ups. The service already boasts nearly 90 million subscribers, and fully expects that number to continue to expand greatly by the end of 2021.
While it comes alongside a fairly modest price increase - ranging between $2-3 a month depending on the country - Disney Plus is about to add a ton of new material to its virtual racks via Star. This material is comprised primarily of adult-oriented fare that doesn't fit the general family-friendly mission statement of Disney Plus, much of it acquired via 2019's purchase of Fox. The major catch is that Star content won't be added to Disney Plus in the U.S., as Disney puts such movies and shows on Hulu stateside, a service that doesn't extend outside those borders.
For Disney Plus customers in the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and future international markets though, a whole bunch of worthwhile picks are about to become available when Star launches on February 23. Here's the full launch line-up.
The full list of Star on Disney Plus movies can be found below, but some notable highlights include the entire Die Hard franchise, Independence Day and its sequel, Deadpool 2 (but oddly not the original), Borat, Con Air, Starship Troopers, Office Space, and There's Something About Mary. The line-up of new movies to be added on February 23 is both large and diverse, comprised of both blockbuster hits and award-winners, as well as many different genres. One genre not yet represented well though is horror, as it appears Disney still doesn't want that on Disney Plus.

The full list of TV shows being added as part of Star's addition to Disney Plus is also pretty large and diverse, featuring sitcoms, sci-fi and fantasy programs, and action thrillers. Among the highlights included in the complete list below are Modern Family (which streams on Hulu in the U.S.), Scrubs, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, The Strain, 24, How I Met Your Mother, and Sons of Anarchy. These additions to Disney Plus greatly bolster its back TV catalog, and offer literally hundreds of hours of new binge opportunities for subscribers. Whether that'll be seen as worthy of the price increase by users remains to be seen.
