On the next 31st, a streaming service will arrive in Brazil (more): Star Plus (or Star+), a new Disney platform for Latin American countries.
The objective of Star+ is to bring together other content distributed by the company in addition to those that already exist on Disney+ (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic and, of course, Disney), which debuted here in November 2020. The platform will count, for example, with sports programming from ESPN, movies and series from Star (the former Fox), exclusive productions and part of the Hulu catalog – another streaming from the company from
Mickey, available in the US only.

Star+ was announced in August 2020 by Disney CEO Bob Chapek; months later, in December, the service was confirmed, with more details about its operation. But to understand this story (and why Disney decided to launch another streaming), you need to go back a few years to when the company initiated one of the biggest deals in the history of the entertainment industry.
On December 14, 2017, Disney announced the purchase of 21st Century Fox for $52 billion. The acquisition encompassed Fox’s entire entertainment division (TV and movie studios, cable channels, etc.); other parts of the company, such as the Fox News news channel, remained under the command of billionaire Rupert Murdoch.
The deal drew attention to the number of new brands and franchises that would come under Disney’s umbrella: The Simpsons, X-Men, Avatar and Planet of the Apes, just to name a few. It was the fourth largest transaction in the sector, behind only a few agreements between Time Warner and telecommunications companies, such as the American At&T.
Acquisitions of this kind, of course, don’t happen overnight. After the news, the American telecommunications company Comcast offered $65 billion for 21st Century Fox (the company had owned since 2011 another media conglomerate, NBCUniversal). The proposal forced Disney to raise the value to US$71.3 billion, the final price of the deal with Fox.
