Foxtel adds Disney+ app

The Foxtel Group and The Walt Disney Company have today announced an agreement to integrate the Disney+ app on set top boxes, starting today, and rolling out over the coming weeks.

Foxtel customers with a current Disney+ subscription and an iQ3, iQ4 or iQ5 set top box will be able to access titles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and general entertainment brand Star.

They join other industry apps from ABC iview, SBS on Demand, 10 Play, 9 Now, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube and Vevo.

Foxtel Group Chief Content and Commercial Officer, Amanda Laing, said: “We’re committed to delivering the ultimate destination for entertainment and streaming, all in one place and so we’re thrilled to be adding to our apps with Disney+, the home of much-loved and globally recognised entertainment brands. Through the Disney+ app integration, Foxtel subscribers can access their Disney+ subscription to the deep and rich catalogue of Disney+ content spanning the fantastical worlds of popular family movies and TV shows, to hugely popular, addictive, and gripping dramas, comedies, reality and more for adult audiences.”

Kylie Watson-Wheeler, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of The Walt Disney Company in Australia and New Zealand, said: “We’re excited to add Disney+ on Foxtel iQ devices which makes a Disney+ subscription seamlessly accessible on this platform. This innovation means Foxtel customers can conveniently expand their viewing experience to enjoy our world’s-best entertainment and content for all ages, with an ever-growing catalogue, exciting new releases, exclusive original content, and more on Disney+.”
