Disney+ is set to increase its subscription prices in the UK again from October, which could see some members pay an extra £24 per year.

The streaming service is home to movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Star and more.

Disney+ first launched in the UK back in March 2020 with the simple single tiered price of £5.99 per month or £59.99 annually.

In February 2021 that price jumped to £7.99 per month and £79.90 for an annual subscription.

Disney+ to charge for password sharing

This latest subscription price hike comes after it was revealed Disney+ will begin charging users if they share their account with someone outside their household.

The change will mean that the primary account holder will be charged an extra £4.99 a month (nearly £60 a year) if they do share Disney+ with anyone from another household.

The system will work similarly to Netflix's password-sharing scheme and will offer the chance to 'buy an extra member'.
