The video streaming market never ceases to amaze us. Their tricks to attract more paying users and retain them over time seem to have no end. The last trick Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) was to join forces to combine their most popular online content services. They are direct competitors, but that didn’t stop them from announcing a package that included Disney+, Max and Hulu.
Both companies announced this agreement in USAwhere users can start using it this summer. The price is a complete secretalthough they confirmed it there will be a pack with and without advertising. Also, what services they won’t integrate with each other and they will keep their apps and websites separate.
It is currently unknown whether this will happen merger of Disney+, Max and Hulu Its purpose is to simplify the subscription or provide savings compared to the individual amount. Everything points to a balance between the two, allowing clients save a few dollars a month and worry about one payment.
The advantage of Disney and WBD seems quite obvious: combining their services in such a way that users cannot individually decide on possible cancellation. That is, by combining payments and allowing overall savings, you limit the number of individual cancellations. To avoid losing your discount, the client ends up keeping everything.
Disney+ with Marvel and Max with DC
Oddly enough, a single subscription will allow you to cover, for example, Marvel and DC content. But not only that, the trio of services is accumulating a terrifying catalog not only in the format of TV series or films, but also in the format channels and live content. It’s a giant merger that American users will likely welcome with open arms.
Here are some of the brands that are generating current content on Disney+, Hulu and HBO Maxand which users will be able to use within one subscription.

Will something similar come to Spain?
Unfortunately, this deal is unlikely to cross US borders. Many of the brands mentioned above create exclusive content for the US market, so outside the country the combination of Disney+, Hulu and Max I would lose a huge number of channels, TV series and films..
In addition, services such as Hulu is not available in Spain., another small obstacle to the appearance of this trio in our market. Of course, this merger will probably mean recommendations for many companies around the worldso we may soon see similar moves from competitors.
