Disney+ is set to undergo a major transformation as it prepares to launch a vertical video feed later this year.

The Walt Disney Company has officially announced a significant strategic shift in its streaming services: Hulu will become the global General Entertainment brand on Disney+, effective October 8, 2025, replacing the existing ‘Star’ brand in international markets.

Disney+ has launched a broad initiative to limit password sharing, mirroring Netflix’s strategy to convert non-paying users into subscribers.
