The Disney+ streaming video service that’s set to launch just after Apple TV+ next month has signed a deal with Jim Henson Co. for a comedy talk show that will further bolster its programming.
With its huge library of content, Disney+ will launch with broad appeal for both kids and adults. But as highlighted by The Chicago Tribune recently, children’s content is a key area of focus for streaming services.
Disney+ already has a leg up on the competition like Netflix and Apple with its huge library of iconic content that appeals to kids and it won’t have to jockey for rights like Netflix does for many shows and movies. And now, as detailed by The Hollywood Reporter, Disney+ is set to gain another program that kids could love (adults, too!) thanks to a partnership with the Jim Henson Co.
Here’s how Disney+ summarizes Earth to Ned:
Disney+ is set to launch on November 12. The company offered a compelling deal that brought the yearly price down to under $4/month and Verizon is giving a free year of the service to its customers (notably eligible customers can take advantage of both).
- Bob Iger not worried about Apple TV+ undercutting Disney+ on price
- Disney+ video service matches Apple TV+ free year promo through Verizon
- Bob Iger resigns from Apple’s board of directors ahead of Apple TV+ and Disney+ launches
