We’ve known for a while that Disney is changing their streaming pricing structure next month. Beginning in October, prices for Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and the bundle of all three will be increasing. In preparation for that, the company is adding some NEW options to the service.

On September 4th, Disney+ will introduce a new continuous playlist feature. The first will be “focused on preschool content featuring TV series and shorts available on Disney+ including Sofia the First, The Lion Guard, Puppy Dog Pals, and Minnie’s Bow-Toons.”

According to Alisa Bowen, the President of Disney+, “Playlists are the latest example of how we’re providing the best value and experience for our subscribers every time they open Disney+. Whether it’s news, kids’ content, popular genres, hit TV shows or blockbuster films, there will be something for everyone in a lean-back viewing experience based on seasonality and interest.”

Later this fall, Disney will launch four more curated playlists focusing on:

Seasonal Content — a collection of seasonal-themed content from across the Disney+ catalog
Epic Stories — a compilation of action-packed stories from marquee brands and franchises, including Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars
Throwbacks — a destination for nostalgic pop culture content
Real Life — a lineup of traditional documentaries, biopics, and true stories

According to Disney, the content on these playlists will be updated monthly.

In addition to the playlists, Disney is also making another change in relation to the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election. According to the company, “all Disney+ subscribers will have access to ABC News Live, a 24/7 multi-award winning, premium streaming news channel for live newscasts, breaking news, live events and in-depth special reports.” Much like the playlist options, ABC News Live will be available to all subscribers beginning September 4th.
