In just over a year, Disney+ has amassed a total of $3.5 billion in revenue and 100 million subscribers - already surpassing its 2024 goal. In other words, it’s three years ahead of schedule. No surprise, then, that Disney has decided to invest in its streaming empire by adding TV network Star to its service.

Disney as a media company has been criticised for some time in terms of their lack of diversity and inclusivity in both their employment behind the scenes, and in the content that they publish. However, in recent years they have recognised diversity as one of their shortcomings and have committed to changing that for the better.

There are already 60.5 million Disney+ subscribers, smashing Disney’s goal of 60-90 million users four years early. Whilst this rapid growth could be attributed to the rather unusual circumstances of late, with a touch of beginners’ luck - if we can get away with calling Disney a beginner - there’s certainly potential for the platform to rival the leading players in the field.
