Disney (DIS, $129.06) to launch a new streaming offering

Disney has new things lined up for its direct-to-consumer business. 

The entertainment behemoth announced a new streaming offering, which will be distributed under its Star brand, and to be launched in calendar 2021.

The new service is a "general entertainment offering” and rooted in content Disney owns: ABC Studios, Fox TV, FX, Free Form, 20th Century studios, and Searchlight, according to CEO Bob Chapek. The new service is part of an "accelerated" approach to its direct-to-consumer and international segment.  This comes amidst coronavirus-induced challenges posed to the company’s parks, cruises and other products.

 The new streaming offering will be fully integrated with Disney+ in many markets, the company said.
