The Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max streaming bundle collectively assembled by Disney and Warner Bros Discovery is now available in the US.
The prices for the bundle range from $16.99 per month for the ad-supported tier to $29.99 per month for the one without ads.
The bundle is set to provide subscribers access to media giants, like ABC, CNN, DC, Discovery, Disney, Food Network, FX, HBO, HGTV, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, Searchlight, Star Wars, Warner Bros. and many more.
Some details about the Disney / Hulu / Max bundle offer were initially unveiled back in May, followed by Comcast’s announcement of a similar streaming bundle for Xfinity customers that mixes Netflix, Peacock, and Apple TV Plus.
In addition, Disney-owned ESPN is also set to provide a live sports streaming service with Warner Bros followed by Discovery and Fox later this year.

Disney+ standalone is currently offered for $7.99 per month with ads and $13.99 per month ad-free. Hulu is available for $7.99 per month with ads and $17.99 without ads. Meanwhile, Max is offered $9.99 per month with ads and $16.99 per month ad-free.
Warner Bros. Discovery's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Zaslav said that bundling services “just makes an awful lot of sense.” It’s one of the more popular ways to tackle the streaming fatigue experienced by consumers and to reduce cancellation rates.
Netflix — the world’s largest streaming service — believes bundling with smaller platforms is of little benefit to the company itself.
