Today, The Walt Disney Company’s Direct-to-Consumer and International (DTCI) segment confirmed that Disney+ will launch in Canada and the Netherlands, in tandem with the U.S.

on November 12 and in Australia and New Zealand on November 19. DTCI also announced that Disney has reached global agreements with nearly all the major platforms to distribute the Disney+ app across partner mobile and connected TV devices.

The streaming service is expected to launch in most major markets within the first two years.

Disney+ will offer fans of all ages a new way to experience the unparalleled content from the company’s iconic entertainment brands, including Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and more

As the global rollout for Disney+ begins on November 12, Disney+ will be priced at $8.99CAD per month (or $89.99 per year) in Canada and €6.99 per month (or €69.99 per year) in the Netherlands.

The following week, Disney+ will launch in Australia and New Zealand on November 19, priced at $8.99AUD per month (or $89.99 per year) and $9.99NZD per month (or $99.99 per year), respectively.

What's the Disney streaming service?
The Disney Plus streaming service will be a competitor to video streaming services such as Netflix, HBO Now and Apple TV Plus.

It's a paid subscription without any advertising, and it gives customers access to a vast library of Disney's and Fox's legacy content as well as new, exclusive TV shows, movies, documentaries and shorts.

Disney's other streaming services -- Hulu and sports-focused ESPN Plus -- will run on the same tech platform, so you can subscribe to them with the same password and credit card info.

Disney plans for all three to be individual subscriptions, but when Disney Plus launches in the US, it'll offer a triple-service bundle for $13 a month.

FX Plus, however, didn't fit into the equation -- the service shut down Aug. 21. FX Plus was a $6-a-month add-on subscription for Comcast and Cox cable subscribers that removed ads from current and past seasons of FX programming like Atlanta, American Horror Story and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

It became part of Disney when the company bought Fox for $71.3 billion. But with Hulu as Disney's designated spot for adult-oriented programming, FX Plus is a casualty of the merger.

FX as a network will cross-pollinate with Hulu, though. Disney CEO Bob Iger said in August that the company is interested in premiering FX programs on Hulu initially but later moving them over to the traditional FX channel.

Disney Plus will include all of Disney's family-friendly content and much of its mass-audience fare -- basically, anything made for audiences up to a PG-13 rating.

It'll have content from Disney proper, Marvel, Lucasfilm (so, Star Wars), Pixar and National Geographic. And outside those traditional categories it'll also offer all 30 seasons of The Simpsons, a new feather in its cap from the Fox takeover.

Hulu, on the other hand, will be where Disney streams more adult-oriented material. For example, Hulu will stream a new Marvel animated series for grown-ups, and it's where content like Deadpool will stream now that Disney owns Fox.

Hulu will continue to stream content from three of the broadcast networks, as well as its own original series, like The Handmaid's Tale and Castle Rock. (ESPN Plus will, clearly, focus on sports.)

And Disney now has full control over Hulu's direction. Hulu was jointly owned by four parent companies as recently as March.

But in May, Disney said it would buy the rest of Hulu it didn't already own. That gives Disney the flexibility to offer its bundle discount.
