Star is an extension of Disney+ that provides the service with an extra listing of shows and movies, tacking on more general entertainment programming geared for adults. One of the major strikes against 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.

Star includes content from Disney-owned ABC, Hulu, FX, Freeform, and more. The content includes programming for more mature audiences, such as “Modern Family”, “How I Met Your Mother”, “Grey's Anatomy”, “Family Guy”, “The X-Files” or movies like “Commando”, “Deadpool”, and Independence Day.

The content lives under the sixth title – after Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. To access the content on Star for the first time, you will first need to unlock it on your Disney+ account by confirming your account password.

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

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. The Star streaming service costs SGD 11.98 / month, or SGD 119.98 / year (SGD 10.00 / month).

Current Disney+ users will not need to pay the extra fee until later in 2021.
