Star

Star is an extension of Disney+ that provides the service with an extra listing of shows and movies, tacking on more general entertainment programming. The exception is in Latin America, where Star is its own entity, Star+.

…

One of the downsides to Disney+ is its narrowly focused family-friendly collection. With the addition of content from Star, however, audiences will be able to enjoy the service with a newly broadened scope.

It isn’t available in the U.S., since much of the content can be stream on Hulu, which has a 30-Day Free Trial.

Just like Disney+, with Star you also get unlimited downloads, four simultaneous streamers, up to 7 profiles, 4K streaming, and includes hundreds of avatars.

This includes content outside their own intellectual property, along with programming for more mature audiences, such as “Prison Break” or “Commando.” Since in most countries this is effectively a new extra channel for Disney+, there is a resulting slight increase to the price of the service. Current Disney+ users will not need to pay the extra fee until later in 2021.
