In Aug. 2017, the The Walt Disney Company announced that it would be removing its content from Netflix; however, their content will still be available on the platform until the end of this year.
In an article written for Variety, Robert Iger, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, stated “Our first priority is going to be reaching our core Disney fan.”
Shortly after announcing the new streaming service, Iger also noted that the prices would be lower than Netflix, according to cnet.com.

"I can say that our plan on the Disney side is to price this substantially below where Netflix is,” Iger said. “That is in part reflective of the fact that it will have substantially less volume. It'll have a lot of high quality because of the brands and the franchises that will be on it that we've talked about. But it'll simply launch with less volume, and the price will reflect that."
While there is no exact date for the premiere of the show or the launch of the streaming service, the Disney+ landing page provides the opportunity to subscribe to updates about the site.
Aside from “Diary of a Female President,” Disney+ will Disney favorites, such as“Marvel” and Star Wars” as well as content created exclusively for the platform.
