Disney+ has been up to big things lately! From Emmy and Grammy award-winning shows to a whole slew of new Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney series around the corner, there are a lot of reasons to be excited about the streaming service’s future.

Today, we found out about a MAJOR expansion coming to the service that will take Disney+ worldwide!

According to the Hollywood Reporter, this Summer, Disney+ is expanding its service to 42 countries and 11 territories in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa! This is a major step for the service, which has been rapidly expanding since its launch in 2019.

Here are some of the notable countries included in this new expansion: Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, North Macedonia, Oman, Palestine, Poland, Qatar, Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City, and Yemen. Whether this will be under the name Disney+, Disney+ Hotstar, Star, or something else, is unclear as of now.

The service will also be arriving in the following territories: Faroe Islands, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, St. Pierre and Miquelon Overseas Collective, Åland Islands, Sint Maarten, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, British Indian Ocean Territory, Gibraltar, Pitcairn Islands, and St. Helena.

This might not seem like a huge deal for us in the states, but this is a major step forward for Disney+ that could help the Walt Disney Company recover from its losses during the pandemic.

We probably won’t know the full effects of this expansion on the Walt Disney Company until later this year, but this could mean great things for Disney+! Of course, we’ll keep you posted on what happens next and what it means for Disney+, Disney parks, and beyond.
