Disney+, Hulu, Max streaming bundle officially launches — see how much it costs

(NEXSTAR) — A new streaming bundle is here. Starting today, customers can purchase Disney+, Hulu and Max as a package deal.

The three streaming services are now available through a single monthly subscription, Disney Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery announced in a joint press release on Thursday.

The bundle, first revealed back in May, will give customers access to programming from entertainment brands like ABC, CNN, DC, Discovery, Disney, Food Network, FX, HBO, HGTV, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, Searchlight, Warner Bros.

“This incredible new partnership puts subscribers first, giving them access to blockbuster films, originals, and three massive libraries featuring the very best brands and entertainment in streaming today,” Joe Earley, president of direct-to-consumer for Disney Entertainment, previously said .

As for the cost, new and existing customers can expect to pay $16.99 per month for the bundle with ads and $29.99 per month without ads. The package offers a savings of up to 38% compared to subscribing to each service separately, according to the release.

Currently, Disney+ offers a basic standalone subscription for $7.99 per month with ads, while the ad-free version costs $13.99. Hulu has a similar setup, with a monthly fee of $7.99 for the ad-supported option and $17.99 for the ad-free experience. Max provides its service for $9.99 a month with ads and $16.99 without, plus an ultimate ad-free plan priced at $20.99 per month.

The new bundle with all three services follows a trend of streaming platforms joining forces.

Earlier this year, ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery announced plans to launch a joint service that will include games from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, NASCAR, college sports, golf, tennis and the FIFA World Cup. The app is slated to launch this fall.

Last December, Verizon also partnered with Netflix and Max to offer its customers an ad-supported bundle featuring both streaming giants, priced at $10 per month.
