The company is also increasing the price of its standalone ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu plans to $12.49 a month.
The new prices are reflected on Disney+’s support page . Bloomberg was the first to report the changes.
Disney+ and Hulu are hardly alone. Streaming companies have spent the past several years steadily increasing prices. Peacock and Apple TV also raised prices in August, while Netflix increased prices earlier this year.
