A Shift with Little Impact on Users
While this rebranding is significant from a marketing outlook, it doesn’t drastically alter how users interact with the platform. Though, it's certainly worth noting that starting this November, Disney will be increasing the price of Disney+ by up to $3 for Canadian subscribers. This adjustment aligns with similar price hikes happening worldwide and isn’t directly linked to the introduction of Hulu.
The content previously labeled under Star remains available on Disney+, but now it carries the Hulu name. Popular shows like Only Murders in the Building, The Kardashians, Futurama, and alien: Earth, can now be found under a dedicated Hulu section instead of Star. each title within this new tab features an animated effect—a glowing green light—that adds a fresh touch to their presentation.
A Glimpse into Future Enhancements
This rebranding is part of a broader strategy aimed at creating a “fully integrated unified app experience” expected next year. While specific details remain unclear, there are hints about upcoming user experience improvements. These include easier navigation through a new “For You” tab and more personalized content suggestions tailored to individual preferences.
Additions like dynamic content pages showcasing characters from various movies or shows are also on the horizon. Furthermore, iOS users can look forward to Widgets designed for enhanced interaction with their favorite titles. The company has also hinted at introducing more mobile-first experiences throughout next year.
The New Perks Program: A Notable Change for canadians
If anything stands out as one of the most significant recent updates for Canadian subscribers on Disney+, it’s undoubtedly the launch of its Perks rewards program earlier this fall.
